Local writer Martha Tsiki (left) from Thaba Nchu celebrated the launch of her latest edu­cational book, Tholo o Fumana Tsebe tse Ntjha, with pub­lisher Charmaine Kolwane Morwebi. Launched on 8 Octo­ber at the National Women’s Monument in Bloemfontein, this children’s book is about hearing loss. The author has used animals as characters in the story, with the aim of making it fun to read. Tsiki depicted one of the charac­ters as having hearing difficulties and receiving help. Photo: Supplied
