Hi Zulu Mama family,

I am sorry for not uploading the past few days. However I have news, I have been writing a book and itโ€™s now available on Amazon. In this book you will get a glimpse into Zulu Mamaโ€™ s life and understand where and why I have so much love for Zulu Language. I share about umhlonyane, umemulo, umembeso, umbondo, umgcagco and many more. I will share the link on my description on all the videos I will be uploading from now on.
