letter
Dear Vuk’uzenzele,
I am a multicultural writer seeking your support for a project.
I have written novels, poems, and literary works but have been unable to get them published. As a disabled pensioner, I do not have the funds to self-publish my work.
Turning these manuscripts into published books is a significant undertaking that will require material and human resources.
My goal is to encourage learners to read and study in their indigenous languages, as this plays a pivotal role in their culture and identity. Our languages are part of our heritage and should not be lost.
Yours sincerely,
Khazi Mahlangu
