The Story Of The Makgabe !!exclusive!! Now

When two parties have made a verbal agreement, and one party tries to hide a material fact, the elders will say: "Do not be like Phiri. A secret shared is a bond kept."

Against the pleas of Letlotlo, Tau reached out and grabbed the leather bag. The instant Tau touched the mokgabae , the thump-thump stopped. A deathly silence fell over the clearing. Even the cicadas ceased their chirring. Then, from the depths of the cave, a voice emerged. It sounded like grinding stones and dry leaves. the story of the makgabe

In Tswana culture, a mokgabae is a sacred, portable pouch. It often contains the relics of a chief, medicinal charms, or the bones of a revered diviner. It is not an object to be touched lightly. The thump-thump came from inside the cave, as if the earth itself had a heartbeat. When two parties have made a verbal agreement,

The conspiracy began. For one full moon cycle, Tau and Phiri hid the two makgabae (plural) in a hollow baobab tree. They told the village a simple lie: They had found a natural spring and a herd of wild game. Nothing supernatural. Just luck. A deathly silence fell over the clearing

I believe in love. I believe in compassion. I believe in human rights. I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
