TEN THOUSAND STORIES

Every single time I see the 'Ten Thousand Stories' advert on DSTV, I become proud of who I am as an African. I have seen the full version of the ad on YouTube and I am inspired about how the words talk about the strength of Africa - of our past, our present and of our future.

This poem is composed by Lebohang Masango and I am using this opportunity to say thank you for this wonderful piece.

As a proud African, I have translated the poem to my own African language - Yoruba. I am passing the message in my native language to say this is me and I am proud to express myself.

Thank you Lebohang Masango. Thank you DSTV.

I give to you 'Ten Thousand Stories'. In yoruba language, 'Ìtàn ẹgbẹ̀rún lọ́nà mẹwa'.
