The prizes are not linked to a specific genre, and each year’s prize rewards work published in the previous year.[2] The winner of the main prize in each category receives R70 000, the winner of each debut prize receives R35 000, and the winner of the Literary Translation prize receives R50 000.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The Zulu, Northern Sotho, and Literary Translation prizes were awarded for the first time in 2021, with any work published between 2018 and 2020 eligible for entry.[1] The Afrikaans prize has been awarded since 2001, but was previously called the RAU-Prys vir Skeppende Skyfwerk (RAU Prize for Creative Writing) and located at Rand Afrikaans University (RAU).[3] In 2005, when RAU was merged with other institutions to establish UJ, the name of the prize was changed and an English category was introduced. Marlene van Niekerk and Willem Anker are the only writers to have won the prize thrice (each time for Afrikaans).Table of ContentsPrizes for South African Writing in English[edit]Prizes for South African Writing in Afrikaans[edit]Prizes for Creative Writing in Zulu[edit]Prizes for Creative Writing in Northern Sotho[edit]Prizes for Literary Translation[edit]References[edit]Prizes for South African Writing in English[edit]Winners of the English prizes (2009-2021)YearPrizeWinnerWorkGenreRef.2021MainJacob DlaminiSafari NationNon-fiction[4]DebutRe\u0161oket\u0161we ManenzheScatterlingsFictionJamil F.
