Raks Morakabe Seakhoa
After almost 15 years experience in the grassroots and non-governmental organisations and activities, Raks Morakabe Seakhoa now heads the wRite Associates, a one-stop communications agency that delivers highly effective communication and event management strategies, including within the realm of arts, culture and heritage.
From 1988 to 1997, he tenured as the Regional Co-ordinator and Secretary General of the Congress of South African Writers (COSAW). Raks helped raise the visibility of South African literature and its writers through literary skills transfer workshops, literary public readings, writer-international exchange programmes, conferences and his involvement in publications and translations of works into various South African languages.
A published poet, Raks was Convenor of the South African Writers’ Federation (SAWFED) and served as the founding Chairperson of the Southern African Writers’ Council (SAWCO). Until 2000, Raks was a Convenor of the Arts, Culture & Heritage Commission of the South African Chapter of the African Renaissance.
Raks has been involved in almost all aspects of arts, culture and heritage since his release from a 5-year incarceration on Robben Island (1979-1984). Prior to and post his arrest, he’d been involved in student, youth and political activism.
