The FunDza Literacy Trust, which encourages the use of Mxit as a literacy tool, has made the first chapter of the Mobinomics mobi-book available to read online for free:

Tuesday evening in Stellenbosch. It’s raining. A soft mist sweeping in from the roof of the mountains, falling like a benediction on the rows of green that will one day be turned into wine. One day.

For now, the traffic in Dorp Street heading out of town is heavy and sluggish, as it always is at this hour.

People who’ve lived in Stellies all their lives will tell you that the town isn’t what it used to be. They’ll say it’s become a place of bustle and noise, and outsiders rushing in to make a quick buck. I don’t know about that. The bucks aren’t quick in Stellenbosch.
