So, here’s the thing – there are many news stories which, for want of a translator, slip through the cracks. The ones that particularly interest me are those dealing with the occult, weird, and magical – and Zulu-language newspapers like Isolezwe are full of them.
As an example, you can have a look at one of today’s stories, about a man who’s due to be jailed for keeping the head of someone he’d murdered in a fridge: http://www.iol.co.za/isolezwe/uyodilikelwa-yijele-owekhanda-efrijini-1.1256887. Another one would be the articles around the ‘Zombie Maskandi’.
Look out for weird and wonderful stories, translated by me for your edification/amusement. If you find a story that you would like translated, let me know.
