Poetry Africa Festival to honour SA legends: This year, the festival presents a series of tributes, lectures and performances to honour legendary South African poets
The Poetry Africa On Tour programme, a three-day celebration of spoken word poetry, is the first major poetry event to take place at the UJ Arts & Culture Centre since the theatre was named in honour of the late South African national poet laureate, Keorapetse Kgositsile (Bra Willie). Kgositsile was a regular participant at the Poetry Africa Festival and other art spaces countrywide and beyond our shores. Poets performing during the event are Lebo Mashile, Vangile Gantsho, Phillippa de Villiers, Roché Kester, Nomashenge and Belita Andre.
