BY TNA REPORTER
A TSWANA novel, Ga Ke Modisa (I Am Not Your Brother’s Keeper), written by Taung-born author, Sabatha Mpho Mokae has been prescribed for first-year Tswana students at the North West university from next year.
Tswana lecturer, Pappie Mashike said they had decided on using Mokae’s novel because it is current.
“It is a youth novel which deals with white-collar crime. We are indeed faced with certain government official being involved in fraud and corruption.
“The book is relevant to the situation we are living in. The students will associate with the life lived by characters in the book,”
“For the past 10 years our literature has not been growing. It has been too white, with most of our black authors resorting to writing in English. We have since 2001 managed to get three Tswana novels published, including Ga Ke Modisa,”
The book won M-Net Literary Award for best novel in Tswana as well as the M-Net Film Award in 2013.
