Hello Guys! We're so overwhelmed with how much guys over here at Wattpad has shown interest in Meet Africa, even when we've been on hiatus since January!!
          
          Well, that changes now!
          
          We're back, and back for good. Our structure has dramatically changed, fostering an environment that makes sure this community not only thrives, but becomes a marvel on its own.
          
          We have a parent association now called Route Africa. Visit Route Africa's blog here: http://routeafricablog.wordpress.com to know more about it. It's though, an fast-growing association of writers aimed at promoting African writing and undiscovered African writers.

Hello! It's cool to meet you! I love the fact that you're promoting African writers here on Wattpad. 

Hello Guys! We apologize for the extended wait for the answer to our question. Here it goes. The next book summary is. . . (drumroll). . .TRAM 83 by FISTON MWANZA MUJILA.
          
          Sadly, it won't come today. But expect it and another (a double-bill people!) next week. The reason for this is that we are going through a reconstruction phase, part of which will involve a shift from this current facebook page to a new, more permanent one. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, and we urge you, our dear followers, to do the move with us when it happens. It enables an environment for smoother operations.
          
          Now that that's settled, what book are you reading presently.? We hope it's enlightening enough for you to want to share with us. Do share, and have a pleasant weekend ahead.
          
          Ciao!

What's popping guys! Ok. Very informal. But that's what we're all about. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! It's 2016! Big Things are at hand.
          
          But we'll take it one step at a time though...as is proper.
          
          As usual, we'll start up our year with another entry in our anthology, and before this entry drops, we'll like to keep you all guessing.
          
          The question is: "which congolese story got everybody in the world of African Literature talking in 2016?" . Guess the story title and the author and win a free dedication for the next entry. Should be pretty simple enough for anyone who followed African Literature pretty well last year.
          
          That's it for now folks! We'll be waiting for your replies. Deadline is in 24 hours counting from 23:30hrs GMT+1. Good luck!!!!
          
          And, ciao. (we have to get a personalized goodbye note for this community, don't you think?)

Hey guys! We know you've not heard from us in quite a while now. The reason is because we have been back at our drawing boards, cooking up exciting plans for 2016.
