Puku story festival
The puku story festival is a festival that is annually held in grahamstown in settlers monument but this year it was held in the literature museum in Durban street it took place from the 21-25 of february . the festival is basically about literature in isiXhosa actually it is about enriching our culter through reading and listening to stories and poetry
I went the festival with the aware net group and had a ball it was amazing because we got to meet the founder of the festival who is sisulu’s daughter and we took pictures with her and we had a little conversation her because of our previous article. I had a great time because of we were treated like celebrities, considering the fact that we had a radio interview with one of the biggest radio station in mzantsi umhlobo wenene and so many pictures of us were taken by photographers for different media resources like news papers and the internet
Well from my experience the festival it a grate idea not only because it improves our literature skills but also because it gave us a better understanding of who we are and where we come from and seeing you people who embrace their culter inspired me to do the same

Storytelling is an ancient art, it has been around since our
ancestors sat around the fire and told stories to their
grandchildren. It was used to make children look forward to bedtime
because that's when most of the stories were told. It's a
interesting way to teach children about their culture and improve
their language and listening skills. Moreover, research reveals that
telling stories to children makes them do better academically.
It's important for Xhosa people to tell stories because it is a
part of our customs and rituals which are known as amasiko
nezithethe. Sadly,
many
Xhosa people today
tend
to
follow new
customs and religions, forgetting the important lessons storytelling
gave them about their origin and culture. They no longer remember
the ancient times when society
was more equal as everyone
had cattle, praised Qamata
and their
ancestors and cared
less about gold and money.
We in
the born-free generation have
therefore become strangers to our great-grandparents
who are now our ancestors.
Knowing
where you come from does
not mean returning to the past but
being better equipped
for the future.
The
fact that many of us are
poor and
struggling to meet our daily needs
should not not prevent us from practising
our
culture;
there is always a time for a story. So even though we have
electricity we sometimes need to give our TVs a break and go
back to our
roots by
sitting
around
a
fire to
tell
stories. Through
storytelling you will remember
your ancestors;
don’t
embrace everything that was was bought by colonisation but
use your past to strengthen your future. So
if you think reading stories is outdated think again!
