Booksellers of Mzansi

Date: 2018-06-15

Booksellers of Mzansi is a bold new initiative by The Denis Hurley Centre and HashtagBooks (https://www.hastagbooks.co.za) The project aims to collect books to set up homeless people as booksellers in Durban. All money generated by the bookseller is for him/her to keep. The aim of the project is to give people an avenue to earn a meaningful income and at the same time encourage a reading culture in Durban. The project will kick off on Sunday 18 July. Those who would like to support the project should contact ripple-effect@mweb.co.za For further comment please call Raymond Perrier on 0765702497

Dreams come true in the UNESCO City of Literature

A 61 year old amateur tabla player is Durban's newest published writer. Yunus Amir, a life-long Durban resident spent his working life of 40 years in international trading while dreaming of becoming a published writer. Amir's book, a collection of 31 short stories, The Colours of Life is now available for at https://www.hashtagbooks.co.za

Amir's work shows incredible imagination and diversity of style - sometimes reminiscent of the work of Ahmed Essop and at other times reminiscent of Athol Fugard.
