The 18th Poetry Africa Festival which launched last night continues with as hot a programme as its opening night.
Poets and spoken word artists from across the globe will take the stage over the next few nights, including South Africa’s Napo Masheane (pictured), Akeem Lasisi (Nigeria) and Buddy Wakefield (US).
As usual, in addition to the main programme running at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre until Saturday, the festival will have an extensive community outreach programme with poetry readings, performances and workshops in community centres, campuses and schools across Durban and surrounding areas.
