Song of Wilgenhof

Wilgenhof is a strange and mysterious Plek.This epic poem takes a glance at the shifting people, places and practices of Stellenbosch University's oldest residence. From Welcoming to Wise Men to Darkness and that which lurks below the kwod, it tells the story of a fictional jar, Daniel Craven, as he strives to set himself apart. What he discovers is a community of the most profound kind. Written in Wilgenhof lingo, traversing a curious balance between tradition and renewal and wholly unapologetic towards Kremlin dogma, this truly is a Willows story for the oumanne.
