A Night of Poetic Justice

An endless line up of active young poets such as Mmakgosi Tau, Steady Onx, Gomolemo ‘Ghost’ Motsamai, Kgotla Molefe and Ronald Kegomoditswe touched on political, social ills, post hangover and economic issues.

“Don’t provoke my thoughts by telling me black isn’t a colour yet you refer to me as a black or that I am beautiful for a dark shortie as if there are levels of being beautiful, do not provoke my thoughts by saying to rock my natural hair and later say it’s too nappy that sh*t don’t move,” soulful poetess, Mimi Koyabe recited a piece titled ‘People of Absence’ which celebrates dark- skinned women.
