    Great Collection of Tetela Proverbs on the African Wisdom

    By: Ambaye Albertine Tshefu, Elisabeth Mukanga Ndjeka and Albert Tshefu Empenge,

    Great Collection of Tetela Proverbs on the African Wisdom is a rich and charming collection of wisdom. Proverbs are an important and creative tradition of the Tetela tribe of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This book includes nearly 300 proverbs written in Tetela, French, and English.

    While some proverbs are similar to English sayings - "It is the survivor who narrates the story," "Nothing is impossible until the death," - others are unique - "Do not take fog for rain," "The basket of the prickly ants is difficult to carry and to put down." With short explanations, each proverb's meaning is illuminated for reflection and application.


    Filled with wisdom for a proper moral life, family relationships, leadership, encouragement, and reminders, these proverbs are both representative of the Tetela culture and universal in their hope and encouragement.
