“Very few of the books that were available during my early years of schooling had characters who looked like me, spoke my language or even ate the same food I was accustomed to eating. I grew up and decided to write myself into existence. Many others have done the same. Today our books are in libraries and schools. My team and I started Nsuku Publishing because we wanted to give others the opportunity to share their stories, in their own words, in their own languages, without being silenced or censored.”
— Nkateko Masinga, founder and managing director

According to @iecsouthafrica, the advancement of technology and connectivity means that our generation is probably the best informed and equipped to vote in South Africa’s 🇿🇦 history.

On the day of elections, many of us have decided which party to vote for. Nonetheless, whatever that party might be, our willingness to cast our votes and be counted takes courage.
This speaks of our common commitment to making a difference, as we look back and reflect on all that we have been through as a nation, we can only hope, and look toward all that the future offers.
