Mabu

A group of individuals decided to get together and form a book club which will later translate into something bigger.  The common love that brings these individuals together is the love for their beautiful continent,

What does Mabu a utswitswe mean?
"'Mabu a u tswitswe! The soil has been stolen - This is a sepedi idiom which is uttered in a village when the chief/king has been killed.  Someone would go to the top of the hill and say "Mabu a utswitswe" - everyone would grab their spear or weapon of choice because it means action must be taken . 

 Translating this into current Afrika today - it means that something has gone terribly wrong in Afrika and we must stand up and get back our soil.  We can no longer wait to be a part of, we must be.
 Discovering Afrika and restoring its dignity
