Unique African Proverbs
|
| |
| Put a smile on your face and absorb some
food for thought along the way! Africa, with all
its diversity,
is very rich with words of strength, love, fear, hope,
wisdom, misery and faith. Compliments to the BBC World Service for collecting
these proverbs from contributions from listeners,
who have regularly tuned into their broadcasts all
over the continent. |
