Background of the site,
An art based website, majoring in poetry literature. This is not a stand alone
organisation, but supports other art based organisations and community
projects.
Itolofiya is a Xhosa word for a strange fruit known as a “pricklypear”. Its a
pear-shaped fruit with prickles(or small thorns) all around the exterior. The
beautiful thing about it is that you have to be extremely patient, smoothning
the thorns arpund before you can actuually eat it. The inside is not anything
like the outside its a delicious fruit. Mostly that’s what poets/writers focus
on; the emotions, their feelingsof anger, frustration, pain, love and
appreciation of the world around them. Basically the fruit is what matters, the
inside matters!
There’s more info on our facebook page too! Itolofiya
