Celebrating South African Youth Day
The 16th June marks the day of the Soweto Uprising in South Africa in 1976. A series of protests, led by high-school children from numerous Sowetan schools, against the introduction of Afrikaans into their school system. This day is now celebrated as Youth Day to remember those who died on that day.
The high-school children in Mafikeng have marked this occasion by preparing some notes to teach us their language, Setswana.
First is your greetings. Dumela. Hello.
Then comes family members …
Now the Days, the Months and Time…
Don’t forget counting… Nngwe , pedi , tharo , nne…
Finally, we have parts of your house…
We’d love to know how your Setswana studies go and maybe one day if you visit us we can practice some more?!
