National Arts Festival showcases indigenous literature

. The literature festival offers a platform for African writers to showcase their indigenous language work.

The festival is celebrating indigenous languages, through the spoken and written word. These languages were once deemed inferior and suppressed by colonisers and the apartheid regime. Linguistics professor, Henry Thipa, is one of the flag bearers. His 30-year quest to preserve these languages was recognised by the festival.
