Chairman of FoolsAlert! This Saturday, the 7th of November, marks the 17th anniversary of International African Writers Day. The day was originally initiated by the the Pan African Writers’ Association (PAWA).

To celebrate, the wRite Associates have put together a programme at Newtown’s MuseumAfrica featuring Zimbabwean author Shimmer Chinodya, Botswanan author and performer Mbali Kgosidintsi and South Africa’s own Oswald Mbuyiseni Mtshali. They will address the theme “Reflections on the contribution of African writers to the development of the Continent”.

The free event has been made possible by the Sylt Foundation / Jozi Art:Lab, Talk To Me Music (ditto?) and of course the museum itself, in addition to the wRite Associates. Here are the details:
