It's the middle of the night when a giant pine tree falls, leaving Rorisang and Morena's family without power. Their Saturday plans are ruined, but Papa and Mama have an idea for free fun at home: mgusha, a jumping game. Soon, all the kids on the street join in, turning the game into a street bash and a championship.
Mama, a former high jumper, becomes the star, leading Team Ngam to victory. The power is restored, but the kids are still outside playing mgusha, proving that the best things in life are free.
Book 4 in an early reading series that follows the adventures of the twins, Rorisang and Morena, and their family and friends. Based on the characters of the highly successful Know My Name and Part of a Team by the same author. Vividly brought to life in full colour by award-winning illustrator Katlego Keokgale. Available in four languages: English, isiXhosa, isiZulu and Afrikaans.
