Part One of our ReNOKA Comic Strip Series has come to an end and what a journey it’s been!
From the rise of the terrifying Kholumolumo to the courage of young Lerato, we saw how unity “kopano ke matla” helped protect the land.
Together, we:
🌿 Fought invasive species like sehalahala
🔥 Stopped burning of grass as it depletes the soil
🐄 Practiced rotational grazing
📚 Shared wisdom from Grandfather Koena.
Lerato reminded us that anyone can be a ReNoKA champion by respecting nature and coming together to protect water and land.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Kopano Comic Strip Competition and tuned in to PCFM Lesotho every Saturday at 9:30AM!
The journey doesn’t end here, let’s keep protecting our land and water together!
