GIMC poetry to bring more spoken word creativity

Speaking to Showbiz in an interview, Thapelo Pabalinga of GIMC said after bringing South Africa’s Lebos Mashile last year, this time around their foreign poet will be Mama Kay from the USA. “We position it as the best spoken word event in Botswana. We are always about quality performances from local and international poets. It is different in that it brings together poets of different styles, music and cultural ensembles all in one evening. The amount of creativity on the night is always mind boggling, pleasant to see,” he said. 

Spoken word poetry is one of the most powerful platforms poets use to voice their thoughts and last year the event was no short of that with a youthful lineup of Juby Peacock, Poetess Phopho, Goitse Kgaswane and Morwa Motsamai among others.
