This week in East Africa:

Uganda denied opposition leader Kizza Besigye bail and charged him with treason.
Tanzania arrested opposition leader Tundu Lissu and charged him with treason.
South Sudan detained opposition leader Reik Machar.
Kenya police tear-gassed high school children over a play.

I’m going straight into a week long group writing and year planning retreat, followed immediately by a four day workshop and a collaborative art project. I’m looking forward to all of it and to regular sleeping patterns sans impulsive marathon series/film binges.

It’s the real end of the Festive season/summer holidays. All schools open in all provinces. The last of the leave-takers are going back to work on Monday. I’m one of them. I’m torn between enjoying my last holiday weekend and super planning.

C'mon Men. Step up and do your part, since you care so much.

If you’re a writer it’s important to have a range of friends so when you get a text saying “my life is so weird” there’s a legitimate chance the next text will be: I won a Nobel prize, or
WHOOPS Accidentally had an orgy, or an alien landed in my lawn I’m not shitting you, & it could be any of those

Spotted in my little coastal city: this colourful mural of Prof Mtuze, poet, novelist, literary scholar, Editor in Chief of the Greater Dictionary of isiXhosa, first Black professor at Rhodes University in 1988, (co)author and of 30+ books of literature and scholarship. Living legend. #PeterMtuze

I am
because of women
I come
from women
I know
because of women
I pray to the spirits of women
I fight
for women
I am inspired
by women
I stand
with women
I am loved
by women
I too
love women

I am a woman
