SEK Mqhayi Day Poem Celebration 29 July 2021

Mqhayi Day was originally inaugurated by the late Senior Lecturer of the African Languages Studies Section lecturer, Dr Mhlobo Jadezweni in 2014 when he gave books to his Rhodes University first year class of isiXhosa mother-tongue, and instructed them to read and present about S.E.K Mqhayi. He educated the students about the significance of knowing and celebrating this legend and since then, it has been one of the important days in the South African calendar. Dr Mhlobo Wabantwana Jadezweni whom I admire mostly for mentoring me into publishing my first poetry anthology in 2018 entitled 'Ikhwezi Eliqaqambileyo'. You can download the book for FREE on this link www.smashwords...
Mqhayi was a teacher, Xhosa dramatist, essayist, critic, novelist, historian, biographer, translator and poet whose works are regarded as instrumental in standardising the grammar of isiXhosa and preserving the language in the 20th century. He was born on 1 December 1875 near Gqumahashe in Alice. Mqhayi is remembered for his stories, the poems he recited, and showing interest in African culture, customs and tradition.
