Sbonelo Snoop

His name is Sbonelo, but everyone calls him Snoop. That’s short for detective, in case you hadn’t heard.

You wouldn’t think that the tiny rural village where ten-year-old Sbonelo lives with his mother would offer much in the way of opportunities for the smartest and youngest detective around. But it does. There’s the curious case of the missing sheets, the complicated case of the chicken wings and the mysterious parcel, and the puzzling case of the headmaster’s words. But even these are all in a day’s work for Sbonelo, who hangs up his sign in the village market every Saturday, where – at R5 a time – he investigates and unravels all sorts of mysteries for his eager clients.
