from Bulawayo, led by Brain Mkabeta and Tswa, to establish and strengthen their own Poetry Slam, affectionately known as Mlomo wako (your mouth) Poetry Slam. They meet every second Saturday of the month to recite poetry and express their fears, challenges, successes and struggles.

Not to be outdone will be the evergreen Shoes Lambada, Outspoken, My Brothaz Keeper, Kadijah, and the soft-spoken Mutumwapavi. – Own correspondent
