This festival is assisting to celebrate Khayamnandi and seeks to facilitate social cohesion, build pride, promote unity and place Khayamnandi as an integral part of greater Stellenbosch and a common neighborhood for all of Stellenbosch. In the late 1930s, they started to build this community on the outskirts of Stellenbosch and officially declared it a township in November 1941 (in 2021 Khayamnandi will be turning 80 years). It is the second oldest township in the Western Cape. This event will draw together, community, business, youth, community organisations, media, and visitors from all over Greater Stellenbosch and the world to celebrate the Khayamnandi heritage, diversity, richness, and dynamism.
We’ve been bringing people together in communities in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, to interrogate the word ‘Citizen’. We’ve asked people young and old what it means to them, what it inspires and how they think the idea of being an equal citizen relates to local communities, to the country, and the wider world. About 12 poets came all across the Western Cape to explore and express their point of view about being a citizen and lead a conversation(s) about the Land, Racism, Education, Gender, Language, Democracy, and Youth.
