Basic information about isiYalo

IsiYalo National Writers Guild started working informally from 1983 and was formally launched on 28 August 1993. On the 27 August 2009 it was registered as a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO). Its main objectives were to develop, promote, protect and preserve isiNdebele as our one and only Indigenous African Language. It is also committed in skilling mainly the budding authors so that they can also be on the main stream list of isiNdebele Language developers. Like in other languages they also develop all isiNdebele genres, namely, Short Stories, Novels, Dramas, Poetry, Traditional Literature, just to mention but a few. Not forgetting to mention that we have also started promoting reading, book review, debate and spelling to all age groups of people, i.e. from the in school and out of school youth both males and females, as well as the interested adults. We are also working in collaboration with the National Department of Arts and Culture, Department of Arts and Culture, All the Institution of Higher Learning, etc.
