MELUSI’S EVERYDAY ZULU MELUSI TSHABALALA, R210

Born out of a habit of posting one Zulu word a day on Facebook, the hilariously ungovernable author now has a print (and electronic) book to show for his efforts to educate the nation on his beloved home language. Melusi’s words range from the simple ngiyabonga (thank you) to more intricate ones such as lilizela (ululate). Does Zulu homework time in your home make you want to say sifelani? Pull out this book and let your offspring know isikhathi samapopeye

siphelile (it’s time to get serious). There’s a pronunciation guide as well. Vele.
