2011 Cape Town Book Fair cancelled

25 Jan 2011

The Cape Town Book Fair for 2011 has been cancelled, with plans underway to bring the show back in 2012 "in a new and remodeled format," run in parallel with the IPA Publishers Congress, set for June 12th through June 14th, 2012.

The organisers say that "publishers in South Africa have voiced their support for a bi-annual Fair."

iAfrica adds that "a letter from Publishers Association of South Africa president Brian Wafawarowa indicated that one of the factors for the event's postponement was the 'non-participation of key publishers in last year's Book Fair.'"
