There is a significant nod to South African literary history in the Litfest marking the 140th anniversary of the birth of Sol T Plaatje, novelist, poet, translator, chronicler and founder member of what is now the ANC.
In conjunction with the Jacana Literary Foundation and the European Union, the Mail & Guardian will present the sixth annual Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Award and Anthology. Since it began in 2011, the project has been funded by the EU and administered by the Jacana Literary Foundation.
The seventh annual M&G Literary Festival, popularly known as the Litfest, will take place at Sci-Bono in Newtown, Johannesburg, on October 8 and 9.
