Penned by the bold: Bonang Matheba, Ayanda Borotho and more on the bookshelf

'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world' - that's the quote that often comes to mind when we think of books. Books are more than just tools for learning, they help us grow, understand the world better, and even escape it when we need to. Like movies or music, books are a form of entertainment too. They transport us into made-up worlds that somehow feel real, comforting and full of life. This World Book Day, we're celebrating the magic of storytelling and the way books heal, inspire, and connect us. We're also spotlighting the celebrities and public figures who have continued sharing their stories through books: 1. Bonang Matheba - From A to B A memoir-style book where Bonang shares her journey in the entertainment industry and life lessons along the way.
