Jeff Opland and Peter Mtuze have been shortlisted for the South African Literary Award in the Literary Translators category for Iziganeko Zesizwe: Occasional Poems (1900-1943) by S.E.K. Mqhayi and Umoya Wembongi: Collected Poems (1922 – 1935) by John Solilo, published by UKZN Press. The South African Literary Awards pay tribute to South African writers who have distinguished themselves as groundbreaking producers and creators of literature, while it celebrates literary excellence in the depiction and sharing of South Africa’s histories, value systems and philosophies and art as inscribed and preserved in all eleven official languages of South Africa. The awards have become the most prestigious and respected literary accolades in South African literature. Selections are made from published authors whose primary input is in imaginative writing – fiction as well as creative non-fiction. The work must demonstrate good linguistic presentation, the nation’s identity, societal values, universal truths, and cultural aesthetics. It must also contribute to social cohesion, nation building and transcendence of time. Since its inception in 2005 SALA has honoured one hundred and eighty two recipients.
