While the other two winners were media shy and could not comment on their victory, Masuku said when she wrote her piece she was committed to get it published but had no idea she would be among the winning poets.

“When I came to submit my poem, I was told that it was too late since it was past the deadline but the lady I spoke to ended up allowing me to submit so I was very happy when I saw it in the paper. I wrote the poem on the day that I brought it here and I am very happy that I managed to end up among the winners besides entering the contest last minute.”
