About this book
27 April 1994, through Gogo’s eyes
The Day Gogo Voted tells the story of 27 April 1994 through a grandmother’s memories. Children colour Gogo getting up before the sun, the long queue outside a school, neighbours singing in the line, Gogo making her mark, people of every colour together, the new flag going up and a Freedom Day family feast.
Each page has a short true fact, a colouring task, a find-or-count question and a “Say it in siSwati!” word to trace. The “Ask Gogo!” page invites children to interview a grandparent about 1994, a tracing page practises every word, and a Well Done certificate ends the book.

Questions
Before you buy
Do I need to speak siSwati to use this book?
Not at all. Instructions and fun facts are in simple English, and every siSwati word has the English beside it. It’s a gentle start for families learning siSwati, and a fun boost for children who already speak it.
Do I need an account to buy?
No. Add the book to your cart, enter the email address where you’d like the download link sent, and pay. That’s it.
How do I get the book?
Straight after payment we email you a download link, usually within a few minutes. The link works for 7 days, so download and save the PDF. If anything goes wrong, email us and we’ll send a fresh link.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print it as often as you like for your family. Print a fresh page whenever your child wants to colour it again.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. The colouring pages are black line art and print well on any printer. The cover and the Well Done certificate look best in colour, but black and white works too.
I paid but didn’t get the email.
Check your spam or promotions folder first. Still nothing after 15 minutes? Email sandile@asifundenathi.co.za with the email address you used, and we’ll sort it out quickly.
