Born and bred in Ntuzuma, Durban Siyabonga Skhakani is a
talented young poet. His love for poetry started at an early age when he was
still in primary school. He started taking poetry seriously in grade seven and
never looked back. Despite being a poet Siya is graphic designer and owns his
own graphic design company. He admits to being a quite shy guy but when he’s
performing on stage he becomes a different person.
He draws his inspiration from reality show people.
Skhakani feels that poetry in South Africa is
going far but it should not be rated, he doesn’t believe in people judging
people’s feeling or what they right about.
This is Siya’s third coming to National Arts Festival and he
feels that every time he comes here Grahamstown has something new to offer him.
He loves the street performances thinks that he can bring originality through
his performances at the Fest.
You can catch Siyabonga Skhakani at the Urban lounge, at the
Afro-fusion shows every day throughout the Festival.

good thing that our own talent shines and that we try as much to promote them. Charity begins at home not next door.
