Nondwe Mpuma shortlisted for Best Poetry NIHSS Award

March 20, 2023

We’re happy to announce that Nondwe Mpuma’s debut collection Peach Country was shortlisted for the 2023 NIHSS Awards.

The book was shortlisted alongside books from Antjie Krog, Kelwyn Sole and Sarah Lubala – books from four different publishers; proof that poetry publishing in South Africa has been strong this past year!

Congratulations to Nondwe, as well as to Sarah Lubala, whose collection A History of Disappearance (published by Botsotso) took the winner’s prize.
