First Cape Town Book Fair Coming Up!

Alert! South Africa’s long-awaited and much-deserved first international book fair kicks off this weekend, when the Cape Town Book Fair gets underway on Saturday.

The fair, presented in conjunction with the world’s largest book bonanza – the Frankfurt Buchmesse – will run from 17 to 22 June , at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The programme of events is enormous, and the entrance fee is only R30/day. For anyone interested in getting to know South African writing, this one’s unmissable.
