What is a Bonzo?
A Bonzo is our word for specifically African comics and graphic novels.
The reason we use this word alongside ‘comics’ and ‘graphic novels’ is because when those terms were created (academically referred to as ‘the Ninth Art’), there were only really Western and Eastern influences in that genre. We created this new term to allow African comics and graphic novels to develop away from those preconceptions, and to ensure that African sequential art can exist on its own terms, and abide by its own definitions.

When will shipping fees be charged?
Because of the volatility of shipping prices globally right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date once we have the best estimates for everyone. We plan to enter & charge backers for shipping a month or two before fulfilment when we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship the rewards.

Will add-ons be available ?
Yes! Most of our physical rewards will be available so keep an eye out for the books (Softcover, Hardback and Variant foil cover), the enamel pin, sticker, bookmark and tote bag!

I want to donate a copy of Murenga but also want one for me. Can I do that?
Yes absolutely! You can buy a donation copy Add-on and whichever book you want to get for yourself if your pledge level doesn’t already include a physical copy of the book. E.g. You’ve pledged for the Chosen Family or Digital Hacker levels.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
