Kubuitsile publishes an engaging romance novella

Award-winning Motswana author, Lauri Kubuitsile, has once more put Botswana on the map by publishing a romance novella, namely, Kwaito Love, primarily intended for the lucrative South African market.

Interestingly, the author was able to use South Africa as a place of setting (as per the requirements of the publishers) and she wisely made her major characters Sotho/Tswana, possibly Pedi and she did it with success, as she was able to throw in some Pedi phrases.

In Kwaito Love the protagonist, Mpho Kgosiemang is an ambitious fashion design student who is busy juggling her studies with a part-time job at a take-away.  Mpho is so much focused on her future career that she does not realise that there is something missing in her life, a man, until she meets the dashing and irresistible Thabang Modise, a successful record-label owner.  Although Mpho would like to try hard to convince herself that she only has eyes for her career, Thabang somehow manages to wriggle himself into her life.

Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
