Mulher Forte African literature pty, Ltd is a literature company
Formed September 8,2020 by Paula.O.M.Otukile.
The main objective is to host maun awards, to give recognition to African Writers, Poets and performing arts artists.
Mulher forte means strong woman in Portuguese. According to Ms Otukile the company had first annual awards on the 7th of March 2021, now they are on the last stage of hosting Grande finale in Gaborone Botswana, presumably at Planet lodge in Block three this February.
The second MFAAL 2022 awards were delayed by the sponsors but nevertheless Ms Paula Otukile said, where there is a will there is a way, she managed to secure free publishing deals for the winners from Uganda, Zambia and South Africa publishing Companies as sponsors.
This is a great improvement considering that in the year 2020, there were no sponsors hence Ms Otukile used money from her pocket.
The road to the grande finale will be opened by a hot performance during Valentine’s Day where the two Uganda poets, Daniel Tusiimukye K’abaasa and Nassur Tab’ an El Tablaaz will be battling with the Kenyan Dennis indimuli,Zimbabwe’s Fortune Munsaka, Lesotho’ s Teboho oa Seroki and Botswana’s Gorata Mighty Ntshwabi.
The Valentine’s bonfire will be held on Facebook room and all who are interested must Rvsp Madam Paula to avoid congestion!
