LIMITLESS POETRY AT POETRY WITHOUT BORDERS

MBABANE – The poetic smooth flow of words and the rhymes that kept the audience snapping their fingers was felt at the Mbabane Theatre Club last Friday night.

Poetry Without Borders was a coalition show where Swaziland’s and South Africa’s finest poets  came together to  take poetry lovers through a  poetic journey.
The first poet, Ngomane Nkambule used his rhythmical compositions to paint a beautiful love picture as he played around with words that describe love.

Some of the poems that he performed included ‘Umuntfu Wami’ and ‘Follow’.
The second act for the show was the poetic seed Sibulelo Jele also known as Sbu-J, who introduced himself through stanza’s that rhyme about ‘Tinkondlo tami tikhaliphile’.

The second poem that he recited  was titled ‘The girl who made the poet run out of words, just before  he walked off stage he performed his last piece titled ‘You will know’ which was a factual poem that left the audience snapping away  as each verse was loaded with facts of the artist’s love for poetry.

The first international act was presented by KwaZulu Natal’s first lady of poetry Wazi Kunene who delivered her poem in a different and unique way as it was delivered with a  musical background of jazzy and melodic tunes during her poem titled ‘My lover’s mouth’ .

It was definitely a night full of surprises and an out of the ordinary poetry journey for poetry lovers as Vus’umuzi Phakathi  brought his energetic vibe to the audience when he jumped on stage screaming ‘hustle, hustle’!
