Basadzi Voices: Walk with Me...


In this spirited and defiantly individualistic collection, 13 young black woman poets - representative of a group that has long been among the most creatively silent of South African voices - speak up and speak out with boldness, passion and honesty.


This collection will give you a glimpse into our through, our experiences, our lives. We hope that it will be a source of inspiration to other young South Africans, encouraging them to dream big and live out their dreams. In the words of Hale Tsehlana, we "write" because it is time" - OUR time!

Gcina Mhlophe says: 'Here is a call to be heard from vibrant young women's voices. And what a thrill it is too, to take the time to just listen. To let them take us on a journey of our country through their own eyes, feel their passion and dance to their youthful beat. I say "Halala Basadzi Halala!"'
