If in Johannesburg Tuesday the 13th, you know where to find me and @PanasheChig in conversation on the politics of language, the longer African literary tradition and writing politics. Even you are not physically there, you still have no excuse - it is a hybrid event.

If you read one thing today - it should be this; excellent piece where @mkuki discusses Swahili writers and the fact that they should be mandatory reading in Tanzania… he also unpacks the deep trauma around books in our region. africanarguments.org/2024/07…

“Why are we only celebrating Gurnah now that he’s won a Nobel, for instance?
I think all of us can play a part in interrogating these (relationship with our colonial past; value placed to a colonial framework) contradictions.”

While in form 2, Shaggy and Joe's song Ghetto Child had come, I would sing almost every word, at the same time, I could hardly recite 20 elements in the periodic table. My bro asked me, if you recited the periodic table the same way wouldn't you score everything in Chemistry.

“If students were forced to listen to @diamondplatnumz and then get an exam on him, and if you failed you would be shamed or canned, students would likely hate Diamond too (…) It fosters a deep trauma attached to books”

Our Startup Ecosystem is seeing an evolution similar to bongofleva. It started as a hippy, cool thing for wakishua to do. Then it’s slowly moving from a hobby to more serious work and new faces.
This new breed of founders mean business, and straight up about their money.
