Sabata-mpho Mokae, Pridefully Keeping His Language Alive
We converse with Sabata-mpho Mokae, an academic, novelist, and translator based at the Sol Plaatje University in Kimberly, South Africa. We talk not only about Mokae’s writings, but that of his hero Sol Plaatjie, South African and world history, and he and Plaatje’s effort to develop and maintain their language, Setwana.
