Have you ever wondered how we can our children's connection to African languages in this ?

We've just published a touching interview on our blog that addresses this very question. It features Mahlahle, a thoughtfully designed app that introduces young children, ages 2-8, to the beauty of African languages. The story behind Mahlahle is truly heartwarming - a father created it out of love for his daughter and a desire to preserve our rich linguistic heritage.

And for the parents among us, there's exciting news too - don't miss the mention of the Angula app, designed to support your own language learning journey.

We'd love for you to read the full article and share your thoughts. https://www.pitsopublications.com/post/planting-seeds-of-heritage-a-heart-to-heart-with-the-creators-of-the-mahlahle-app

In a world where screens often dominate our children's attention, it's refreshing to discover an app that not only embraces technology but also nurtures our little ones' connection to their rich cultural roots. Enter Mahlahle, a labour of love designed to gently introduce African languages to childr...

Happy Women's Day, everyone! 🌸

We've got something special to share with you today. We recently had the chance to connect with Nicole Rimensberger, a talented South African author who's making waves in children's literature.

Our new blog post gives you a peek into Nicole's world. Nicole opened up about her writing journey, how she brings her stories to life, and why she's so passionate about creating books that South African kids can really connect with.

Want to know what got Nicole started on this path? Her answer might bring back some childhood memories:
"It's simple, books inspired me. As a child, I spent hours lost in books - in adventures and clues and faraway places. It thrilled me that anything could happen and this drew me to write stories – this idea that with my imagination I could build, experience, feel, and create."

Isn't that just lovely? It really shows how powerful stories can be, especially when you see yourself in them.
