FunDza is excited to announce the winners of the recent writing challenge that took place on our WhatsApp platform in November.

For this challenge, were asked to reflect on the year that was 2021, and look forward to what could be in 2022.

In usual style, FunDza encouraged writers to use as much description as possible to bring the pieces to life.

It was a difficult decision but in the end, the judges chose 10 winners. Each of the winners won a little bit of airtime.

Read the winning entries below.
