Event Description

It's a jubilant opening for the festival as four outstanding poets make magic with words in Afrikaans, English and Sesotho — the three languages of Clarens.
Join us to hear HELENA HETTEMA (Journeyman: ’n Digter ontbloot), PROFESSOR RETHABILE POSSA (Kodiyamalla), SIPHOKAZI JONAS (Weeping Becomes a River) and ZAMA MADINANA (’94), with local star and Clarens personality LOMILE MOKOENA conducting.
It's a free event — all are welcome!
There will be an opportunity to meet the authors after the event and buy their books.
