Beer, Dinner And Poetry Music

That was the question as hundreds of patrons poured into the Khwest Cafe in the Gaborone Main Mall last Wednesday to sample Botswana's first poetry music by spoken word poet, Andreattah Chuma. 
They seemed to love it; they seemed to have been waiting for it to happen.

Most of them had been following it when homes were destroyed in Zimbabwe's Operation Murambatsvina; the poet's performances for a while now since she started to appear at the now defunct monthly poetry sessions at joints like the Village, Maitisong, Khwest, and Cattle Barons.
