| Festival Description | The popularity of the spoken word is evident in the powerful performance arc that threads through each edition of Poetry Africa. Music is also a prominent presence in this landmark festival organised by the Centre for Creative Arts (University of KwaZulu-Natal) and made possible through principal funding from the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund. Poetry Africa takes place at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre, with the festival finale at BAT Centre on 20 October. Satellite events also take place in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Cape Town before culminating at the main event in Durban. |
