Botsotso 19

Botsoso No. 19 is an anthology featuring work by 35 Southern African writers. The collection brings together stories that confront themes of racism, poverty, and various forms of violence, while also holding space for love, beauty, and wisdom. These stories resist easy categorization or escapist readings, insisting instead on confronting head-on the realities that shape everyday life in South Africa. Botsoso No. 19 asks readers to acknowledge darkness while also reflecting on the richness, contradiction, and enduring humanity that exists alongside it.
