Lesotho Stories

There's a little magic all around us. Like with everything else, it can be just as beautiful as it can be cruel. Come on a journey to explore magic from unexpected places.

In the mountains of Lesotho, 15-year-old Palesa lives with her grandmother and younger brother, helping run a small blanket-weaving stand. When she discovers a hidden letter from her missing mother, her world begins to change. With her best friend's humor and courage, Palesa learns that love, family, and forgiveness are the strongest threads of all. "Blankets and Secrets" by Rejoice Omonona is a touching, funny, and deeply human story about teenage life, home struggles, and the warmth of African tradition.

...they were supposed to be a legendary myth...

Tšepo Mokoena is just another broke foreign student in India-until the world starts falling apart. As financial markets crash and global wars loom, he seizes an opportunity that no one else sees: chaos isn't a crisis. It's a business opportunity. Armed with raw intelligence, ruthless ambition, and a gambler's instinct, he dives into the underground world of high-stakes trading, secret syndicates, and geopolitical manipulation. But making money isn't enough. When betrayal costs him everything, he doesn't just want wealth-he wants power. With the help of a shadowy mentor, Tšepo outsmarts market manipulators, dismantles financial empires, and builds his own dynasty from the ruins of war. But every move up the ladder brings new enemies-government agents, criminal masterminds, and billionaires who won't let a young outsider rewrite the rules of the game. And in the middle of it all? The one woman who saw his potential before the world did. But love has a price, and in a world where trust is a weakness, Tšepo will have to decide: does he want the empire or the girl? Or can he defy fate and take both? From the shadows of poverty to the pinnacle of global power, Mansa's Gambit is a pulse-pounding saga of ambition, betrayal, and a young man's relentless rise to billionaire status in a world that never wanted him to win. In war and wealth, the house always wins... unless you learn to beat the house.

After the death of his brother a young man is forced to fend for himself by picking up where his brother left off

As Faizal showed her around, she often caught him staring at her when he didn't think she was looking. He had been giving her the same look the very first day they met and as flattered as she was that he was sort of attracted to her, 26 was way younger than she would have entertained. The youngest she could do was 30 and even that was stretching it for her because truth was, she liked older guys. Guys as old as Bert Acheampong or even older, as long as they were 15+ years younger than her father. Female mechanic, Sebina, has to make a decision between two men, one younger and one older.

Mo just wants to love. But love seems not to love her back because she is in an abusive relationship and worse, her man is not hers alone. When she meets Tebatso, a businessman who is rather rude the second time they meet, she is taken but he falls for her friend instead. Things become rather complicated when secrets between friends and lovers come to light, threatening to ruin friendships and relationships.

I am Ts'episo, a sister, an Aunt to crazy but amazing kids. I'm sharing with you pierce of myself( thoughts, feeling; what I go through every day) that you don't see physically my thoughts, feelings, perceptions in regards to my sister's killer. Years ago I saw my sister beaten by anything you can think of, shot at, and ended up being killed by her husband. The painful part is that he is still not in jail, but worse still a police officer to this day. Am i scared of him? hell ya! I am but hey stick around, who knows what will happen! I am Southern African- specifically Mosotho. ooh and my name means Promise.

Plot: African Union/AU was great friends with EU, UN, NATO, ASEAN. But his disappearance caused EU, UN, NATO and ASEAN forget about him-the African and Arab countries went forgotten and hid themselves from countries like Asian, American and European countries. African Union meets a new ally, Arab League, African Union will try to bring his friends' memories back. The African and Arab countries will meet new countries, they will face danger and crime. Mysteries will open at their door and troubles will be in their way. But does UN, EU, NATO and ASEAN actually forgot African Union? Or did they choose to ignore him like a ghost?

When destiny comes knocking, no one can ignore the call. Whether it is to heal or to kill, everyone has their own path to walk. Sometimes these paths lead us to destinations beyond our wildest dreams and often they intertwined in ways we only see once the moment is behind us. However long the path may be, the journey is always bound to be eventful, especially when celestial magic is involved.

The whole game in a story

Lehakoe. The quartz which ignited fire in me, the fire which started off as my warmth but ended up to scald me. You told me coffee truly was nice unsweetened and black but maybe it was better with some pink cream added to it. You called me your Pink Cocoa. I guess the reason you gave up on yourself and succumbed to your darkest deepest emotions was because you realised that coffee and pink cream was not a good combination after all. You got tired of the bitter unsweetened flavour beneath the sweetness of the cream.

I am Tlhohonolofatso, a single mother, I'm sharing with you pierce of myself( thoughts, feeling; what I go through every day) that you don't see physically. I am Southern African- specifically Mosotho. ooh and my name means Blessing
