Congratulations to Musawenkosi Khanyile, whose debut collection All the Places has won the South African Literary Award for Poetry in English. This rounds off an already successful year for Musa – the book was also a finalist for this year’s Ingrid Jonker Prize.

Congratulations, too, to Marlise Joubert, who won the Afrikaans SALA for Poetry, for her collection Grondwater.

On Musa’s behalf, we would like to thank the administrators and judges of the SALAs for recognising Musa’s immense talent.
