Suzelle DIY tells us how to be a Story Bosso

Nal’ibali’s Story Bosso talent search is underway! Everyone is a storyteller and everyone has a story to tell.

The sheer diversity of the people in South Africa means that there are thousands of untapped stories out there, and we want to hear all of them!

Running throughout September (Literacy and Heritage Month), people of all ages – children, parents, caregivers, teachers, librarians – are invited to enter the talent search.

To do this, they must send in a video or audio clip of themselves reading or telling a story.

Entries can be submitted in any South African language, and can be original stories made up by the participants, retellings of stories heard before, narrative poetry or simply an extract from their favourite book! 

Here is how to submit YOUR story:
