Bokwe talks about how people should work hard before ‘walking’ like a lion, basically, we must work hard before
earning the right to be a king of our jungle or walk with the pride that a lion does. Navuluka is more of a
narrative from the perspective of an adult that is reminiscing on how people lived in Zambia many years ago.

families and close communities.

produce together and ate together so that no one was left out. Both Bokwe and Navuluka were produced by
