The Jakes Gerwel Foundation is proud to announce the launch of The Hive. This new platform will serve as a hub for our writers, as well as offer information about international opportunities available to writers in South Africa, all in one place.
If you are looking for eager worker bees (aka talented writers) to take part in a new project or speak at an event, look no further. Starting at a central photo gallery, you can view all our writers and access their biographies and contact details.
If you are foraging for writing opportunities, you will find them listed according to submission and application deadlines, as well as organised in the following categories: competitions; bursaries and grants; fellowships; literary prizes; publications; residencies; and workshops and seminars.
You can access The Hive here: https://jgf.org.za/hive/.
The Hive is still a work in progress and will grow to house an entire colony of bees and the resources writers need on their flight to success. If you have any information on opportunities or events you would like us to add, please send them to the queen bee at info@jgf.org.za.

Die Jakes Gerwel Stigting neem jaarliks boeke en vermaak na skoolkinders in die Oos-Kaap. Dit is elke keer 'n emosionele ervaring; 'n hoogtepunt, maar ook 'n ontnugterende ervaring. Reis saam met Theo Kemp, uitvoerende direkteur van die stigting, op hierdie boeke-toer in die skakel onder.

Jy staan agter in die klaskamer. Voor jou is ’n see van klein mense se agterkoppe.  Jy ken van hul gesigte, want hulle het ons bakkie vroegdag al by die hek ingewag. Jy verkyk jou aan die klein lywe op die skoolbanke; die uitbundige gelag; die skoolskoentjies wat uit pure…

Baie geluk aan al die finaliste wat pas aangewys is vir die ATKV-Woordveertjies! Die Jakes Gerwel Stigting is veral trots op die benoemings van Kirby van der Merwe en Zack Mtombeni. Kirby het aan sy bekroonde roman, Eugene, in Paulet Huis geskryf as deel van die PEN Afrikaans-residensie. Zack was op sy beurt deel van die NATi Jong Sterre-mentorskapsprogram onder leiding van Lee-ann van Rooi. Sy stuk is vanjaar met groot sukses by die Suidoosterfees op die planke gebring. Ons is dankbaar vir hierdie veertjies in die hoedens van die skrywers, die mentors, die stigting en al ons vennote!

Die ATKV-Woordveertjies bekroon jaarliks uitsonderlike prestasies rondom die Afrikaanse woord. Vanjaar is geen uitsondering nie en die ATKV sit graag ’n veer in die hoed van skrywers vir hul uitsonderlike pennevrugte, toewyding en kreatiwiteit.
