The Black Ink project reimagines black people's lives in the Eastern Cape during the 1800s using articles from the 1800s. The articles reveal a wealthy educated class of Xhosa people who had modernised. They were more successful farmers than white farmers. #imvozabantsundu

I once heard about it but I cannot really say what it is but it has to do with our Xhosa linguistics/literature.

@SABCNews This summit was poorly advertised. To say all the experts were invited is definitely not true. I hope next time summits of this nature will be extended to all those in languages @PanSALB @ActionLanguages masingabi zizinto zokudlala.

Highly recommended. It was inspiring! Anyone who has an interest in language, culture, community and activism should watch the movie. It reminded me of why our work as language rights activists is so important in multilingual 🇿🇦.

“Asinakuthula umhlaba ubolile”- Nontsizi Mqwetho Black women who helped shape the Black press in South Africa occupy a vital place in the country’s intellectual and literary history. Mam’ Nontsizi Mgqwetho’s work in Umteteli wa Bantu (1920–1956) stands as pioneering isiXhosa poetry that not only shaped early twentieth-century African literary and political discourse, but also continues to inform how we read Black women’s intellectual traditions today❤️
