Tulile Siguca is a 26-year-old poet and is

Thando Fuze is a certified legend of the
Durban poetry scene. On top of founding the first platform exclusive to women
in poetry, SHEfted Minds; she forms part of poetry group The Reading Room, which
was part of Poetry Africa 2015 and has a poetry book under her belt, titled Conversations With The Human. Her poetry
touches on social issues, including those faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
Sindiswa Zulu is a great wordsmith with the
language of the province, IsiZulu. She ended 2018 with an electric one-woman
show and the launch of her book of poems, Mayine.
She is moved not only by the political experience of being an African in this
century, but also by nature and our relationship with it as well as matters of
the heart.
Langelihle Maniza Khuzwayo from KwaMashu,
raised and groomed in Nowadays Poets has already graced the Poetry Africa stage
as a prelude poet as well as numerous stages in the city where she has shared
her perspective of the world.
Tory Saint is a poet who has garnered
acclaim and an undisputable reputation as a slam enthusiast. He has performed
and competed in numerous events, always leaving a memorable mark where he's
been, with work that tackles masculinity itself, loss, patriarchy, and
heartbreak he has been a refreshing newcomer to the Durban poetry society.
Nkqubela Arosi is a creative mind through
and through, from writing comics and drawing sketches to delivering truly
profound poetry. Student, rugby player and referee, Arosi writes poems that
sees our inner mental workings as complex and broad as the universe itself and
relates them as such. Arosi has written work on depression, on conquering it
and not conquering it on some days and what it means and looks like to still be
standing at the end of it all.
The event is free and open to the public.
The cafe bar will be open.
