Malebela Qaoka is a Phuthi herdsman and poetic activist from southern Lesotho. In his poem EbaPhuthi sive lesihle, Malebela begins by apologising directly to siPhuthi for being a bad custodian of this ancestral language of his. He then reaches out to the traditional healers and elders for advice and help on how to prevent the Phuthi language and the nation of the ebaPhuthi from perishing. Towards the end of his poem, he stresses the importance of social media for the restoration of siPhuthi as the unifier of the community. Key in reaching this goal is the WhatsApp group Ekhaya le Baphuthi, which translates as 'home of the ebaPhuthi'. The members of the group discuss language matters on and in siPhuthi. Malebela assumes this group to be his home in which he and other ebaPhuthi not only advance their language skills but also foster and spread the use of siPhuthi as the medium of daily communication.
