Growing up, has in it every good story, which begins with this very line, which mean once upon a time. Izinganekwane, an age- old African tradition of folktale narratives. Tales told during family gatherings by our elders about the history of our culture, our wise ancestors and their many courageous discoveries.
Stories based on values passed down by older generations to shape the foundation of the community. Narratives shared as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and instilling moral values. These oral epics usually combined with music and dance formed the foundation for learning and teaching.
Stories that mirrored human thought and enabled us to imagine new perspectives, emphasizing individual responsibility and communal welfare, inviting a trans formative and empathetic experience. Storytelling as a means of sharing and interpreting experiences; providing authentic social cues in a social environment. In the ceremonial use of storytelling, the unity building theme of the message becomes more important than the time, place, and characters of the message. Universal stories that bridge cultural, linguistic, and age-related divides.
Stories which allow us to imagine new possibilities, connecting us with our environment, encouraging us to have respect for all life, value inter-connectedness, and always work to overcome adversity. Our tale is one inspired by love. Love for Pietermaritzburg talent. Love for its people. Love for its environment. The love that moulds, builds and celebrates. Love that shares, cares and adorns.
Love that elevates and inspires entire communities. Love that moves beings to better themselves in order to empower others. Love that partakes in tangible acts of charity.
This is where our story begins.
