Themba and Bizza 1: The seven Mthombothi Beads

Description

In 1849, in a peaceful village on the Southern African coast of the warm Indian Ocean, a boy was born called Themba.

Little did he know that he would never grow old like all his friends and even less did he imagine that he would meet his very best friend in the streets of a township 149 years later. But Bizza, his best friend-to-be, only bursts out laughing when Themba tells him the incredible story of his childhood…
