We have learned that Sundiata's mother, Sogolon
Kedjou, whose marriage to Maghan Kon Fatta predicts the immortality of Mali
through her baby. Sundiata was not able
to walk until after his mother was ticked
off when she asked for some baobab
leaves from Maghan, whose own son picked the leaves from the baobab tree. When
Sundiata learned what had happened from his tearful mother, he strapped two
iron braces to his legs, and soon
learned to walk.
