Season two of the award-winning Breaking Down Borders Africa Tour kicks off with ten new countries and acclaimed poet Botlhale Boikanyo as its new host, focusing on storytelling, poetry, and cultural immersion.
The Breaking Down Borders Africa Tour is set to return with ten new African countries almost a decade after its first acclaimed season, announcing acclaimed poet Botlhale Boikanyo as the face of the programme for Season 2.
Botlhale Boikanyo made history as the only poet to win South Africa’s Got Talent. Since her win, Botlhale has established herself as a national treasure with leading roles on shows including e.tv’s Scandal and award-winning films The Deal and What About the Boys, in a role she will reprieve in a sequel premiering this month.
“Being announced as the new face of Breaking Down Borders is a dream come true. Taking the reins from Paul Modjadji who successfully launched the platform 10 years ago and carved it into a platform that has global reach and impact is a wonderful challenge and testament to the big shoes I have to fill. It is an honour to embark on my first Africa poetry tour with this incredible initiative in this 50th year of the youth uprising and the 70th year of the 1956 Women’s March,” she said.
