A Setswana poet, author, editor, and radio teacher, Edwin 'Serurubele' Moroka, is set to launch his new book, 'Marope a Puo', at Thapong Visual Arts Centre on Saturday.

'Marope a Puo' is Moroka's second book, and it targets everyone interested in learning the Setswana language and culture. The book has 214 pages, and it covers various topics, including Setswana culture, animals, heritage, and more. Moroka explained that he was inspired to write the book because people have been encouraging him to do so, given his experience of teaching Setswana on radio platforms.

"I decided to write and address the needs that I see because I volunteer a lot in schools," Moroka said. "I have realised a number of challenges the children face at school when it comes to the Setswana language."
