Every morning we listen to the World Service (well, we listen to it all the time really) but the breakfast show we get is called “Wake up Africa” - it's broadcast from London at 4.30 GMT and is genius.
Everyday people text in with African 'wise words', little bon mots to start the day. I love them. Here are some of my favourites:
“The monkey that would see the hunter's face will get a bullet in the eye”
“If you want a hen's attention, go for the chicks”
“The contents of a frog's belly belong to the snake that ate the frog”
“The bird that flew to the ant hill was still on the ground”
“Facing something won't always solve it, but nothing can be solved without first being faced”
“If you claim to be an elephant, make sure you don't get caught in a rat trap”
Trying to think of which British sayings to text in....
