KTP Lit Gala

About KTP Lit Gala

Concept and History

The KTP Lit Gala is an international literary platform conceived by KwaziThina Publishers to celebrate the power of storytelling, promote literacy, and honor outstanding literary achievements.

The inaugural KTP Lit Gala was held in partnership with Amaro Literacy Mission, a U.S.-based initiative, at the prestigious Radisson Blu Hotel, Sandton on October 27, 2023. This international event brought together 25 Global Literacy Advocates from America, a U.S. Embassy Diplomat, the Brand South Africa CEO, and other literacy advocates from Africa, including Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Congo, and South Africa.

The second KTP Lit Gala

The second KTP Lit Gala was held in partnership with Brand South Africa. Other partners was Walter Sisulu University, Magwa Tea SA, Nase Construction and Gandundu Lodge. The event attracted a diverse group of attendees, including writers from various provinces of South Africa, as well as from Botswana, Lesotho, and Malawi. Educators, university lecturers, publishers, and partners of KwaziThina Publishers and Funda Mpondo Literary Festival also attended the event.
