The Dinaane Debut Fiction Award is a South African prize that aims to promote new southern African fiction that speaks to both a local and international audience. For the past 15 years, this prize has unearthed great new literary talent within South Africa and now within southern African countries.
The Award is administered by The Jacana Literary Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation which seeks to promote and foster excellent writing from South and southern Africa.
