Afrikaans poetry is alive and well. In 2007 during the Versindaba in
Stellenbosch 35 Afrikaans poets were interviewed about the position of
Afrikaans poetry in the contemporary South Africa . Poets who were
interviewed range from seasoned poets like Joan Hambidge and Ampie Coetzee to
debutant Bernard Odendaal. The last official interview was conducted with
George Weideman before he tragically past away. The DVD was at one stage the
seventh best seller in South
Africa .
