It promises to be the largest and most diverse festival of South African writing ever to take place outside South Africa. Seminars, literary events and workshops will take place at The London Book Fair and at external venues throughout the country.
Dr. Mamphela Ramphele, the first woman and first black South African to hold the position of Vice-Chancellor at the University of Cape Town and former senior Director of the World Bank, will give the keynote speech at The London Book Fair’s Chairman’s Breakfast focusing on the implications of the digital revolution for South Africa. With the world’s eyes already on South Africa in the build-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in June, the festival offers a unique opportunity to explore the writing; reading; and politics of the region. | | | Written by Nazeem Bucibo Friday, 27 February 2009 18:17 | | | Faith in Love? by Nazeem Bucibo | That which is unseen, yet ever so true,
