FunDza is proud to announce the winners of the Never Again Writing Challenge that took place in April on our WhatsApp platform.

For the challenge entrants had to write a poem about the South Africa they dream of seeing one day – a day in which we can all say ‘Never Again’ to things like injustice, poverty, discrimination and violence.

Each line of the poem had to start with the words ‘Never again…’

There were many amazing entries, which made the judging a difficult process, but the judges ultimately managed to choose a top 10.

Read the winning entries here:

Men suffer from anger – we suffer more – Yolanda Noma Matonana
Never Again – Daniel Thembekile Mkhabela
Not if I can change it – Dada
Nevermore – Justice Lindamo Kamanga
