East Coast Radio Podcasts African Story Magic with Gcina Mhlophe

Mazanendaba Searches for Stories (S1 Epi1 in English)

Loading player...
The story of Mazanendaba, the woman who went to the bottom of the ocean to find stories from the spirit people, simply had to be our first one in this special podcast series. Mazanendaba returned with a whole treasure chest of tales, and that is precisely what we wish to share with our audience through this podcast. It is an honour to reconnect with our fellow story-loving people in this beautiful country.

No story lives unless someone wants to listen. Thank you to our listeners!
