The KZN Literary Tourism Project team attended the opening of the Midlands Writers Festival at Ike’s Books, on 22 August 2015. The launch marked the beginning of series of book launches by the writers from Midlands and surroundings. Organiser Darryl David opened proceedings by thanking all writers and book-lovers in attendance. Ashwin Desai, Zainub Priya Dala, Ranjith Kally, Carol Campbell, and Vernon Head were there to speak about their books on the night. It was particularly good to see Zainub Dala making a public appearance after her ordeal during this year’s Time Of The Writer Festival that took place in March.
