As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility- ahem we corporate now, no? we interrupt normal transmission to bring you a public service message from our good friends at KWANI?
For detailed Information, visit the Kwani? Litfest Blog
Further on in matters Kwani? This blogger has learnt that in a special (RED) edition of The Independence to mark World AIDS Day, the Kwani? Editor- Binyavanga Wainaina- was named one of Africa's Leading Artists. Yes, one of the fifty greatest cultural figures shaping the continent.
Uncomfirmed reports say that this Blogger sent his congratulations and wondered whether Binyavanga was our new Bono; it is time for a black one, really. Binyavanga is alleged to have responded: "...am somewhat horrified and thrilled."
So we still do not know if he is going to London anytime soon- not to collect the Caine Prize, this time but to adopt a white baby.

Congratulations to Herr. Wainanina and kudos! He's done Africa proud.
Do me a favour and find out if these Kwani peeps will find a way for us who are Stateside to get copies of Kwani.That is one market with potential!
For whatever reason the blog link didn't open for me. It's the right URL for Kwani.org so maybe it's just me. The Kwani LitFest is there.

Potash gone corporate? Kweli i have seen everything. Congratulations to B. Wainanaina, LOL at his 'alleged' quote. Na aharakishe na kuadopt huyo mtoto mzungu, wanahitaji usaidizi kuwalea, wamjua Bush (sio kichaka), sio?
Banks:
Literary tourism hasn't been explored locally until now. It is great to know that the Kenya Tourism Board is interested and supprtive of the Kwani Litfest.
Aegus:
Bush sio Kichaka...lmao. Potash is not a blogger- he is a brand. Watch this space.
