The auspicious occasion was held at the Pierneef Theatre in Pretoria, where Daphney recited excerpts from her latest book of poetry called The Beauty of a Rare Blossom.

Audience members were also treated to a variety of performances by several artists, including 2J Harmonix and Tafelkop’s Umlilo. Daphney’s sister, Mapule Twala, was also the MC for the occasion.

Their performances can be viewed in the videos below.
