KZN Literary Tourism is excited to announce that project head, Lindy Stiebel, will be pulling a rickshaw across KwaZulu-Natal in an effort to raise awareness for literary tourism in the province. The trip will see Stiebel take on all eight of the trails run by the project in a single day. She will begin in the Midlands, travel through to the South Coast, Grey Street, Inanda, Cato Manor and conclude her journey in the North Coast.
“We’ve always prided ourselves on going the extra mile in promoting local authors and their works”, acknowledged Stiebel, while weightlifting at Virgin Active Berea. “Now we shall be doing it literally”.
Those who wish to support the endeavour can contribute to the project in a financial capacity. According to Stiebel donations will fund necessities required by the project such as office stationery, coffee machines and a new indoor Jacuzzi.
“We have been working under deplorable conditions since the cappuccino setting on our office coffee machine stopped working”, says her research assistant Rasvanth Chunylall. “We’ve also had to skimp on the caviar during our monthly meetings”.
Stiebel’s Rickshaw Trip™ will begin at 11 am. Queries and messages of support can be directed to lindystiebel@gotcha.co.za
