True Stories

For the first time in English, new writers from Mozambique describe what
love and relationships can be like in their culture. What happens to Makalanjombo,
whose name means "unlucky in love"? Matusse insults his mother-in-law . . . Chicambanyane goes to work in South Africa . . . Rungo falls in love with one of his own students . . . Randziwane ends up with two wives . . .
Mozambique is a Portuguese-speaking country, crash-landing into the modern world. These stories come from real life, and were written in English to reach a wider audience. They explore how the old and the new co-exist in a modern African country. "True Stories" is the first in a series by the group "Mozambican Writers." More to come!
