This story will captivate anyone who loves tales about giants. It mirrors the traits of Zim-zim, who goes to great lengths to capture Yebo, even swallowing a hot axe. This is a rendition of an old African folk tale. Written in isiMpondo, it was created in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Institute for Education and Rural Development as part of the Zenx Ulwazi Lwethu reader materials project in 2020.
