The Story of Seriti
![]() |
Africa is a land filled with many wonders. The Sotho people refer to one such wonder as 'Seriti' or the shadow that you cast. Mountains, trees or objects made by humans, cannot cast this shadow. It is unique to you. No two are alike. In it you can read the life story of a person. It is the legacy you leave behind, the consequence of each and every choice you make. Humans do not live in isolation, but rather cast their shadows on all those around them; they leave their footprints on the soil of Africa. To know your Seriti, you need to be true to yourself, you need to be real. Becoming real does not happen all at once, it takes a long time. It does not happen to people who break easily or who have sharp edges. Sometimes your journey to becoming real will hurt, but when you are real you don't mind being hurt because when you become real, it lasts for always. Let your Seriti dance together to weave the fabric of your legacy. Share, grow and discover your Seriti and the Seritis of others around you. Build the legacy of your Seriti as you grow in knowledge and wisdom and as you touch the lives of others. Be real Celebrate your uniqueness Cast your shadow Leave your legacy. |
