Being a teenage contributor to a published book

Episode 03 | Emmanuel P. Makate Podcast Title: The Builders: Innovative Youth and the Azanian Arts Union Publishing House & Poetry Club In this third episode of the Emmanuel P. Makate Podcast, host Emmanuel P. Makate convenes a distinguished panel of innovative young writers and members of the Azanian Arts Union Publishing House and Poetry Club, an institution founded by Mr. Makate to advance literary excellence and intellectual leadership among South African youth. The episode opens with an in-depth conversation with Manthuseng Nkone, featured contributor to the Voices of the Future poetry anthology. Miss Nkone discusses the genesis of her work, the editorial process of transitioning from manuscript to published volume, and the role of language in articulating youth aspirations within the post-1976 democratic dispensation. The dialogue subsequently broadens to include fellow members of the Publishing House and Poetry Club, who examine the operational challenges of independent publishing, the integration of digital platforms, and the imperative of treating creative practice as sustainable enterprise in the Eastern Cape. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the 16 June 1976 Soweto Uprising, the panel reflects on the contemporary duty of young artists to uphold the principles of education, dignity, and civic responsibility.
