The latest Botsotso journal, previously posted on the Botsotso website, combines fiction, poetry and graphics with book reviews and writer/poet-to-writer/poet interviews. 

The sub-title, Light Up the Night, comments on the dire global political situation of ‘great power’ rivalry, war and economic decline for billions and, while writers reflect on every conceivable aspect of human life, their work naturally reflects a heightened awareness of these isssues.
