The duo is inviting and looking for members who have similar interests to theirs and can help them grow and bring positive change within their community as they also want to take Kgosigadi Book Club to local schools.
“We started working on the idea around last year because we both love reading and couldn’t find any book clubs in the area.
“I had to spend money to travel to Johannesburg to go to a book club,” says Dee.
Their main focus is to re-introduce the culture of reading and make reading accessible to people who have an interest in and love for reading.
“People who are interested are more than welcome to join us.
“It is free of charge. We only require that you are committed, love interacting and love meeting new people,” says Dee.
Kgosigadi Book Club prioritise local and African authors.
“It is empowering to read books that we can relate to, books that speak to us and understand our culture and struggles.
