JOBURG MEETS CAPE TOWN Poetry Showcase is an events progamme founded by Luxolo Ngqunge( LAST pOet )as to continue with the art revolution which has been driven since the 60’s,70’s and 80’s, during the days of Jazz in Sophiatown which became a tool for liberation when our country was still facing the life struggle of Racism and Apartheid. In the recent days we are faced with different struggles such as alcohol, drugs, teenage pregnancy, and unemployment. 

JOBURG MEETS CAPE TOWN Poetry Showcase uses the same tool of Art revolution in order to assist the youth of today in overcoming such struggles and help them lead a meaningful and successful life through Poetry specifically. I feature poets from Johannesburg, showcasing their talent and capabilities as youth of South Africa. JOBURG MEETS CAPE TOWN Poetry Showcase revives the South African Hip Hop tradition of poetry recitals, which is something that cannot be taken away by our current struggles. It is also to celebrate the freedom that Tata Nelson Mandela fought for, so that we as South African youth could be liberated by freedom of speech and mentally liberated as a rainbow nation and embrace the beauty of our country’s art, specifically live Jazz music and Poetry.
