Résumé

In every culture, proverbs carry the weight of generations. They are the quiet voices of elders, the echoes of past experiences, and the wisdom drawn from both triumph and tragedy. For the Northern Ndebele people, proverbs are more than just clever sayings; they are lessons wrapped in poetry, guiding young and old alike through the complexities of life. This book, part of the Learning Ndebele Proverbs Through Storytelling series, explores twenty-five such proverbs-each explained and brought to life through a short children's story.
The stories are written for young readers but carry a depth of meaning that speaks to everyone, no matter their age. Each proverb offers a lesson drawn from the rich tapestry of human experience. Some use animals, like the stubborn frog that refuses to move, teaching us about obstinacy and the limits of persuasion. Others remind us that every problem, no matter how twisted or tangled, has a solution if we look hard enough.
There are proverbs that urge us to accept what cannot be changed, to recognize that power and status are temporary, and to act boldly rather than waiting for help that may never come. Many speak to the cycles of life and history-how events repeat themselves, how endings often give birth to new beginnings, and how careless choices can lead to inevitable consequences. Some proverbs address the importance of truthfulness in a world where rumours and misinformation spread like wildfire, while others celebrate courage, leadership, and the wisdom of learning from the past. Across all these lessons runs a single golden thread: that life is a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, losses, and surprises.
The proverbs do not simply tell us what to think; they invite us to reflect, to question, and to grow. By pairing each proverb with a story, this book ensures that the wisdom of the Northern Ndebele people is not only explained but also experienced, making it memorable for young readers and the young at heart. As you turn these pages, you will encounter frogs that refuse to budge, despised people who rise to greatness, leaders who carve new paths, and families whose joys and sorrows mirror those of real life.
Through them, you will discover that proverbs are not dusty relics of the past but living lessons-timeless, relevant, and deeply human.
