Ubonge uPuku ngokushicilela izincwadi zabantwana ezibhalwe ngolwimi lwebele kanjalo nokugquguzela ukufundwa kwalezizincwadi eMzansi Afrika. Ube esebonga ubuholi obuqotho buka Elinor Sisulu okunguye ohola Puku nemibhidlango yakhe enhlobonhlobo.

“Uthando lolwimi lwebele kumele lugqugquzelwe ingane isencane. Umuntu onesisekelo esiqinile solwimi lwebele, ubamba kalula kwezolwazi nokuba nezwi elizwakalayo. Akungabazeki, isisekelo solwazi, ulwimi lwebele.”

The likes of Dr Gcina Mhlophe and initiatives like Puku, have shown the way, and continue to inspire more writers like us to see it is now possible to write and get published in our mother tongues. Let us use the Internet, films and other modern platforms to make sure that the effort to enhance our languages is multipronged.”
“Kusemqoka ukuthi umbhali owuhloniphayo umsebsenzi wakhe abe nezimpande ezijulile olwimini lwakhe lwebele. Noma umbhali eseke wakhipha izincwadi ngesiNgisi, ukubhala ngolwimi lwakhe lwebele yindlela yokuliphilisa lelo lwimi. Amavulandela anjengoDokotela Mhlophe aseyikhombisile indlela benezinhlangano ezifana noPuku. Nayo i-Internet nezinye izindlela zobuchwephese besimanje, akusetshenziswe ekuphakamiseni izilwimi zebele.”
