Tuesday, September 23, 2014

Renowned poet Berry Heart, who got her breakthrough after ‘confessing her undying love for President Ian Khama’, is hoisting the Botswana flag at this year’s Story Moja Festival. She updates Staff Writer SHARON MATHALA about her stay in Kenya.

“Story Moja Hay Festival is a serious get together of the world’s renowned poets and writers. Among the artists are Nobel Prize Winner Wole Soyinka, whom I studied for my entire life as a literature graduate, Kwame Dawes, and others from UK, USA, Africa, and Jamaica,” Berry Heart said.
