We are proud to announce the 10 winners of the ‘A hot cup of …’ writing challenge that took place on FunDza’s WhatsApp platform in May.

Writers were tasked with describing a moment with their favourite hot drink, using the senses and, literary elements like setting, to paint a picture. Importantly, writers had to stick within the 100-word word limit.
