What Is Mabata Bata About?

The premise of Mabata Bata without spoilers.

Azarias is a young orphan shepherd who cares for a herd of oxen, with one named Mabata Bata being particularly significant. The oxen are destined to be part of a traditional dowry payment, the "lobolo," which his uncle Raul must provide for his marriage. Azarias dreams of attending school, a hope fostered by his grandmother. Tragedy strikes when Mabata Bata triggers an explosion in a mine, a lasting consequence of the country's civil war.
