The English Academy of Southern Africa is pleased to announce the winners of the above listed awards which were run in 2010.
PERCY FITZPATRICK PRIZE
Seven books were shortlisted for this award. These were:
The Billion Dollar Soccer Ball by Michael Williams (Maskew Miller Longman, 2009)
Dance of the Freaky Green Gold by John Coetzee (Tafelberg, 2008)
Daniel Fox and the Jester’s Legacy by Andy Petersen (Penguin, 2009)
Fuse by S A Partridge (Human & Rousseau, 2009)
Jesse’s Story by Fiona MacGregor (Maskew Miller Longman, 2008)
Sharkey’s Son by Gillian D`Achada (Tafelberg, 2008)
The Summer of Toffie and Grummer by Edyth Bulbring (Oxford University Press SA, 2008)
The award goes to Andy Petersen for Daniel Fox and the Jester’s Legacy (Penguin, 2009). The judges noted that ‘the novel is interesting, with engaging complex characters, an imaginatively constructed world and surprising plot twists’.
Honourable mention goes to Gillian D`Achada for Sharkey’s Son (Tafelberg, 2008) and to S A Partridge for Fuse (Human & Rousseau, 2009). Fuse was highly commended for its exploration of school violence, bullying and abuse, showing what might drive a bullied child to strike back, and Sharkey’s Son was described as a beautifully written novel, with an almost lyric feel to it at times.
Judges: Crystal Warren (Convener), Marike Beyers and Megan van der Nest
THOMAS PRINGLE AWARD (Short Story)
The following six stories were shortlisted for the award:
‘Buiten Street’ by Stephen Watson (New Contrast, Vol. 36 No 4 2008)
‘Arrested Development’ by Sandisile Tshuma (Words, Fourth Quarter 2008)
‘Help’ by Liesl Jobson (New Contrast, Vol. 36 No 2 2008)
‘Hannah Hunter Watson’ by Stephen Watson (New Contrast, Vol. 36 No 2 2008)
‘Strangers’ by Arja Salafranca (New Contrast, Vol. 37 No 4 2009)
‘Venus Crossing’ by Gail Dendy (New Contrast, Vol. 37 No 6 2009)
The award goes to Stephen Watson for ‘Buiten Street’. The judges were impressed by his discursive style and mastery of language and imagery. They noted that the story ‘captures the poignancy of the struggle we all go through to accept and understand the experiences that form us’.
Honourable mention goes to Sandisile Tshuma for ‘Arrested Development’. The judges described it as a ‘beautifully observed story of a journey – both literal and figurative’. They loved its “hustle, hassle, bustle and bluster” and felt that the images and noise came across beautifully.
Judges: Jo-Anne Richards (Convener), Hugh Hodge and Phakama Mbonambi

New literature for young adults at Macmillan
Macmillan South Africa would like to invite writers to develop new youth literature.
Background
Literature written in African languages for teenagers or young adults is an underdeveloped literary genre in South Africa. Although we have recently seen a growth in the number of novels, full-length dramas and short stories in the said languages, most titles seem to fall nicely into mainstream, ‘serious’ African literature.
Research shows that only the Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature and Siyagruva Series, are dedicated to producing literature for young adult readers in South Africa. It must be pointed out that Siyagruva titles (Robin Malan is the editor) are published in English and then later translated into African languages. On the other hand, the Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature encourages writing in all eleven official languages. Its contribution to the development of the youth genre is evident in the number of winning titles that are on the prescription list. One notable example is North-Western Setswana novelist, Kabelo Kgatea, whose novels (four have won the Sanlam Prize) are currently prescribed for high schools, including Grade 12. The major criticism about this prize is that it is awarded every second year and the entries per each respective African language hardly surpass 10. For example, in this year’s competition, no prize was awarded in the Nguni category.
As Macmillan South Africa (Pty) Ltd, we have identified this huge gap and resolved that there is an urgent need to develop this genre.
Problems with current literature
By being moralistic, criticising them, disapproving of things like their long uncombed hair and loud music, much literature in the market creates a distance between the reader and writer. Because of that, most of the works talk down to the reader. It is worth noting that when you write for the young adult, your readers have been criticised, belittled and talked down to before; and they hate it!
Most of the literature on the market also tends to use stilted language. This has to change if a writer is to win these readers’ attention and appreciation. We encourage writers to use contemporary, yet standard language. You may, however, teach them a word or two that they do not know but don’t make them read the novel or drama with the constant help of a dictionary.
The Future: What Macmillan is looking for
Macmillan South Africa would like to invite you as a writer to help us develop the new youth literature. Unlike Siyagruva Series and Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature which focus on the genre of the novel, we intend publishing novels, dramas and short stories in all of the eleven languages. We would like these books to be aimed at learners in Grades 10 to 12. You may write in any of the three abovementioned genres.
Youth novel
We’re looking for:
· Authentic youth novels
· Novels with a clear plot and development of characters
· Appropriate setting and background that learners can identify with
· Stories that are free from any form of bias and stereotyping, such as gender, ethnic, race and religion, unless used as a theme that is positively resolved.
· Novels that address issues of national concerns, HIV/Aids, social justice, child and human rights, should be treated with sensitivity (if they feature at all).
Things to remember when writing:
Be on the teenagers’ ‘side’. Do not pretend – they are good at picking up hypocrisy.
Do not come across as disapproving – teenagers fear rejection. Have a clear grasp of their fears, dreams, music, aspirations, likes and dislikes, etc. You do not have to like every aspect of their lives but unless you look at teenagers with affection and tolerance this genre is not for you.
Respect teenagers and try to communicate with them and understand their point of view.
Teenagers generally like things to happen fast so your story should be well-paced to grab their attention.
Use accessible, contemporary language.
Be as classless as possible in order to appeal across regional boundaries.
Write a story that is engaging, readable and enjoyable for learners of each age group.
Where themes are concerned, we are not going to be prescriptive. But it is highly recommended that writers dwell on contemporary themes. A story must be of sufficient general interest to their age group. We are looking for stories of between 96 and 168 pages, typed on New Times Roman (font size 12) on A4-sized paper, depicting the main character that your intended reader will easily identify with (the character should preferably be their age). In terms of word count, your novel could be between 30 000 to 40 00 for senior readers. The page numbers and word count given serve as guidelines rather than absolute rules.
Young adults want to read stories that deal with the kind of problems they have to face themselves, and there is no need to avoid unpleasant realities. However, please do avoid explicit vulgarity. They read newspapers and watch television; they know what is going on in the world and they need truth, not false protection.
Irrespective of the nature of the theme you are addressing, there are a few points worth pondering by the writers when writing:
Short Stories
We’re looking for:
· A wide variety of authentic texts.
· Different styles such as satire, humour, lyrical etc.
· Can include flashbacks, movement in time and space
· South African and African authors and stories
· Stories with a clear plot and story line
· Stories that do not exceed 12 pages (or a word count of between 1000 to 3000)
Drama
We’re looking for:
· Authentic drama texts such as stage plays, radio dramas and television dramas
· South African and Afrocentric theatre
· Traditional and contemporary themes
· Word count: approx. 15 000 words
· 1 Act, 2 Act or full-length dramas
As a requirement for the NCS, we would like to draw the writers’ attention to the following things that all submissions should include:
· Author’s biography
· A glossary of terms
· A short summary of the manuscript in English.
When you have an outline of your story, please submit a short synopsis in English to the Publisher:

IBBY SA's Representative South African Books for Children and Young People
Thanks to IBBY SA for permission to publish this list.
100 Representative South African Books for Children and Young People
In drawing up this list, we have been mindful of the following:
• The books are recognisably African in character.
• The authors and illustrators are South Africans, or non-South Africans living and working in South Africa.
• The books are in print.
• The books are mentioned in the list in the language in which they were originally written. Many titles have been translated into other South African languages.
• The books are intended for children and young people: we have not included titles that are geared to an adult market, even if popular among younger readers.
Of course, there are many more South African titles of distinction in the area of books for children and young people. It is our hope that these 100 will be seen as representing the excellent work being done by writers and illustrators and translators and publishers in all South African languages. The list drawn up in 2004 for the IBBY World Congress remains as a historical list, and we acknowledge those books that have made way for newer publications.
We acknowledge the assistance of members of the IBBY SA Exec and invited colleagues in drawing up the list, and the generous support of the publishers in supplying copies for the two exhibitions mentioned below.
The books in the list were exhibited for the first time at the IBBY SA stand at the Cape Town Book Fair, 16–19 June 2007, and at the Nami Island International Children’s Book Festival in South Korea, June 2007.
The 100 Books List will in due course become a virtual exhibition on our website www.ibbysa.org.za . The physical exhibition will be housed at the headquarters of Biblionef SA in Huis der Nederlanden 4 Central Square Pinelands Cape Town.
We hope you enjoy browsing through and consulting the 100 Books List. Your comments are invited, and can be emailed to booksforafrica@iafrica.com .
100 Verteenwoordigende Suid-Afrikaanse Boeke vir Kinders en Jongmense
Die lys is saamgestel met die volgende in gedagte:
• Die boeke het ʼn duidelike Afrika-karakter.
• Die skrywers en illustreerders is Suid-Afrikaans of woon en werk in Suid-Afrika.
• Die boeke is tans in druk.
• Die boeke word weergegee in die taal waarin dit oorspronklik geskryf is. Baie titels is vertaal in ander Suid-Afrikaanse tale.
• Die boeke is bedoel vir kinders en jongmense. Boeke vir volwassenes wat gewild is onder jonger lesers, is nie in aanmerking geneem nie.
Daar is natuurlik baie ander goeie Suid-Afrikaanse boeke vir kinders en jongmense. Daarom hoop ons dat hierdie 100 boeke as verteenwoordigend gesien sal word en as voorbeelde sal dien vir die uitmuntende werk deur skrywers, illustreerders, vertalers en uitgewers in alle Suid-Afrikaanse tale. IBBY SA gee ook erkenning aan dié boeke wat op die 2004 lys as deel van die IBBY Wêreldkongres verskyn het, maar wat nou deur nuwer titels vervang is.
Ons bedank lede van IBBY SA se uitvoerende bestuur en ander genooide kollegas vir die saamstel van die lys. Ons bedank ook die uitgewers wat kopieë van die boeke vir die uitstallings verskaf het.
Die boeke op die lys is vir die eerste keer ten toon gestel tydens die Kaapstadse Boekfees, 16–19 Junie 2007 en tydens die Nami-eiland Internasionale Boekfees in Suid-Korea in Junie 2007.
Die 100 boeke sal as ʼn virtuele uitstalling op ons webwerf www.ibbysa.org.za vertoon word, terwyl die fisiese uitstalling by die hoofkwartiere van Biblionef SA gehuisves sal word (Huis der Nederlanden, Central Square 4, Pinelands, Kaapstad).
Ons hoop dat julle dit sal geniet om deur die 100 boeke te snuffel en die lys van 100 boeke te raadpleeg. Enige kommentaar kan gestuur word na booksforafrica@iafrica.com .
