Local writer, Wame Molefhe has won a highly commended prize in the prestigious 2007/2008 Commonwealth Broadcasting Association's (CBA) Short Story Contest.

Her story, 'Sixpack', about the desperation of immigrants, is among the just over 20 winning stories chosen from thousands of entries from all over the Commonwealth. In 'Sixpack', a Zimbabwean woman comes to Botswana to earn money to pay for her sick husband's medicine back home and ends up on the streets as a prostitute. 'Sixpack', along with the other prize winning stories, has been recorded on a CD that will be sent to radio stations throughout the Commonwealth and played on air in those countries.

Commenting on the importance of this win, Molefhe said, "The Commonwealth competition put me in the same group of writers from all over the Commonwealth and so this achievement is affirmation that writing is something that I must continue to do."

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
