Poet James Matthews was on of five eminent Southern Africans who were awarded honourary degrees by Rhodes University this past weekend.

After he had received his degree, he was further feted at a gathering at the Insitute for the Study of English in Africa (ISEA).

Fellow SA poet and Rhodes teacher, Lesego Rampologeng, led proceedings and many were there to honour the great man, to listen to poetry – both by him and about him.

Now listen to a montage of some of those voices at the event.
