@centre_for_creative_arts: Before she became the powerhouse performer known across the continent as Busiswa, Busiswa Gqulu was already commanding stages at Poetry Africa 2013 with her bold presence, rhythmic lyricism, and unmistakable performance energy. Today, she is a globally recognised artist with countless hit songs to her name — including Ngoku, Banomoya, The Queen, Bazoyenza, Lahla, and Midnight Starring. But even during her poetry days, you could already hear the rhythm, cadence, and lyrical musicality that would later make her a superstar. And honestly, even today in her music, you can still tell she is a poet… or once was 😁 Busiswa siyacela ubuye ntombi! This is further evidence that the Poetry Africa stage has hosted numerous elite talents over the years — and continues to nurture greatness even today. This October, Durban will host the World Slam Championship from 5–10 October at The Playhouse Company. Make sure you are there to witness greatness from all around the world. Be on the lookout for tickets, weekly passes, packages, the full programme, and the official line-up. Are you excited? 🔥🌍🎤
