We are delighted to extend a formal invitation to you and the poetry enthusiasts in Cape Town to participate in the inaugural IKASI POETRY MUSIQ VIDEO COMPETITION, themed "Langa 100 - 1923-2023." This event promises to be a celebration of the rich cultural tapestry of our townships, with a focus on spoken word poetry. Langa, a vibrant township in Cape Town named after King Langalibalele, is set to commemorate its centenary this year. To commemorate this milestone, we invite poets to delve into the history and heritage of Langa, researching and crafting poems that capture the essence of historical incidents and celebrations that have shaped this community.
