UnderGround Poetry: Street Poets, Freedom vs. Democracy.

Over time, Slam Poetry has worked its way into the foundation of hip hop culture, thus creating another avenue for headz to express them selves. Because of the complex material which is studied at tertiary institutions, University Slam Poetry has often manifested itself as a mouth piece for the solutions of intricate problems, as well as the reflection of thoughts that belong to the leaders of tomorrow.

Street Poetry is an organization on the Tshwane University of Technology Cap City campus that has grown so rapidly that we had to take notice. Consisting of everyday students studying courses that range from Engineering to Criminology, Street Poetry has become much more than a society for students who wanna be cool. Today, the society will host a “Freedom vs. Democracy” slam poetry event, to celebrate yesterday’s national elections, which is scheduled to take place at the Coffee Theatre in building 4 on TUTs main campus.

Performances from an assortment of cerebral students ready to express truth and feed minds with revolutionary views can be expected at the very least. The event kicks off at 1:00pm and entrance is free. For more information, visit www.jamrockexpress.blogspot.com
