Makhanda: ZIZIPHO BAM presents Sunflowers For My Lovers

Her approach is deeply rooted in inclusive, multisensory engagement, inviting people to feel, reflect and act through poetry, performance, and collaborative worldbuilding. Her debut collection, Sunflowers For My Lovers, has taken her on a tour across the country, performing at prestigious events like Open Book Festival, Poetry Africa and Poetry On The Lawn.
