The 28th Poetry Africa festival ended on Saturday with the crowning of Olive Olusegun as Slam Champion 2024 in Durban. Olusegun uses poetry, performance, art and architecture in various mediums to story tell and "story reveal".
She was placed second in the 2023 Slam Jam finals, but this year she went one better and will be representing South Africa at the 2025 World Poetry Slam Championships in Mexico.
The annual Slam Competition marked the end of an exciting festival that captivated die-hard poetry fans and new poetry lovers alike.
The closing event and Slam Jam Finale came at the end of one of the most popular days of the festival.
Workshops and discussions focused on the substantiality of poetry careers, with practical information and actionable advice shared at the sessions.
