King Mothupi ~ The life of Mothupi Clan Founder

Mothupi Clan

"The Adventures of Mothupi" is a short story about a teenage boy's tragic events and how he beat the odds and become a successful young man and an adult. At only 16 years old and without any mortal guidance, Mothupi had to make decisions that would affect and map out his entire life. His contended peaceful life was thrown upside down when his father, mother, sisters, uncle and cousins were brutally murdered by a mob in Komati village. He was the only family member who survived the onslaught. It became a painful, difficult and challenging journey for a teenage boy who had never ventured out of the comfort of his protected and loving environment. "The Adventures of Mothupi" is about a teenage boy who learned early in life about the principles of life relating to triumphs over tragedies emanating from the power of forgiveness that has the power to build strength and courage for his determination for success in life. All the experiences with which Mothupi met in life, the generational conflicts that his grandparents had to endure, and the hate crimes committed against his family have taught him valuable lessons - that forgiveness has the power to set the victims free, set them on a path to discover the reason for their existence resulting in their pursuit of purpose. While tragic in many ways, the story in this short story book teaches of triumphs over tragedies, the power of forgiveness, the pursuit of purpose, determination for success, hope and renewal. The author writes from the African renaissance perspective and uses the story to carry readers through generational conflicts, struggles in life, hurts, successes and triumphs. |Nkgaruba (also known as Bantwane) |Setwana |South Africa |Kwena
