Writers Space Africa (WSA) Magazine - March 2024 Edition

Writers Space Africa

Editorial

Dear reader,

This issue presents the miraculous splendor of motherhood; the nucleus of parenthood. It is not foreign to humanity that a female gender, especially those who go beyond themselves to be called mothers, are special species that participate in God’s project of creation. In every mother is found a school of thought that orients a child to realise one’s philosophy of life as he/she navigates into new possibilities afforded by the world.

The concept of motherhood is confined around the parameters of a woman who is called mother by her biological or non-biological children. However, it makes more meaning to delineate the operation of motherhood from the lenses of the ‘not so much thought perception’ of the male gender that plays a pivotal role in the upbringing of a child in a family, be it functional or dysfunctional. In some homes, motherhood is left to fathers who take up the mantle and becomes the ‘mother-figure’.

In most, if not all African cultures, it is socially binding that every child is the child of the soil. As a community-oriented viewpoint that celebrates Ubuntu, every adult individual ought to participate in the welfare of a child regardless whose child the person is. This simply implies that in a typical African society, a community or a village assumes the role of a mother to all and for all without discriminating against anyone.

Mother Africa, each month through the writer’s space magazine, finds in herself a threshold to deliver new creative writers while fostering the already existing. Therefore, this 87th edition bears testimony. Our esteemed authors echo an amplified wittiness such that the reader’s agitation will be synchronised into the mechanical and technical language that express not only the supremacy and beauty of motherhood, rather the heroism of a mother’s love.

Wishing you a Happy reading
