The iPendoring Student Challenge inspired a collection of poems that celebrate the many languages, cultures and stories that make South Africa extraordinary. Filled with pride, humour, warmth and humanity, these poems remind us that language is more than words. It is identity, connection, belonging and home.We were inspired by the creative excellence, authenticity and heart reflected in every submission, and wanted to create a space where these remarkable voices could continue to be celebrated.
