Books and stuff like that

It’s that time again, the Cape Town Book Fair is around the corner. This year promises to be filled with as many interesting discussions, interviews and talks as last year. Perhaps for me, not as many of my personal favourite writers will be featured, however two or three will be there. Who knows, perhaps there will be opportunities to get the old books signed, and the old questions answered.

Last year’s Book Fair, had a great selection of young South African writers, amongst them Sihle Khumalo, who was promoting his book ‘Dark Continent my black arse’ we caught up with him to chat about his book and also to ask him to comment on the ‘xenophobic attacks’ at the time.

Here is what he shared:
