About the Book

Tukiya is a fiction book authored by journalist David Kashiki, and it highlights some of the worst forms of abuse the girlchild of Zambia's rural, and semi-urban setup undergoes. "Early childhood marriages and teen pregnancies are rampant in most parts of our country. As we fight Covid-19, we must not neglect other equally important battles mankind has been subjected to. We must win on all fronts," - Kashiki

With the help of Bemba experts, Nkandu Chalwe-Kapungwe, and Hosin Kasolo, the author has managed to translate the book into Bemba, and endeavours to have the read in Silozi, Kaonde, Chewa, Tonga, among other Zambian languages. "This is being done, with the hope of helping contribute to the promotion of using our local languages more, and most importantly, to help preserve and pass on to the next generation, a culture so rich"
