U humbula Makhulu vha mukegulu (Tshivenda) cover

Remembering Grandmother gently handles the concept of death as a part of life.

U humbula Makhulu vha mukegulu begins with the arrival of a newborn sister for Andrina. The baby is welcomed by everyone, including Grandmother. Shortly afterwards, Grandmother dies and Andrina is devastated. She cries at school and doesn't know how to deal with her sadness. But then people who knew her grandmother arrive at her home. Each has a story and a memory about Grandmother. Through the stories, Andrina realises that a part of her grandmother lives on in the hearts and minds of others, because of the kindness she showed them and the good deeds she did during her lifetime.
