They've apparently announced the title that has won this year's Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa (though not yet at that official site, last I checked ...), and as Ozolua Uhakheme reports in The Nation South African wins Soyinka Literary Prize (because apparently they think it's not the book that wins the prize, and it doesn't matter what the author's name is, it's where s/he comes from that is the only thing that's of any importance ...).
So Young Blood, by Sifiso Msobe (not that they manage to spell his name right, either ...), took the prize.
It's not readily available at the Amazons, but see, for example, the NB publicity page. And after also winning last year's Sunday Times Literary Prize for fiction you figure someone has got to pick this up for the US/UK markets ... right ?
