It will be a grand finale to the Poetavango Interschool Poetry Slam. Students from different secondary schools (governments, private and special needs) will recite powerful poetry in front of a panel of adjudicators. Other performers for the main show will also grace this stage. Ticket price for the show is only P30. However, those who buy the P200 ticket for the main show will have FREE access to the pre show!
