“Three months before Mazisi Raymond Fakazi Mngoni Kunene ascended to join the ancestors, the Mazisi Kunene Foundation Trust was launched at the International Convention Centre in Durban on June 3, 2006.

Among those present were His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithi, the First Lady Mrs. Zanele Mbeki, Minister of Arts and Culture Z. Pallo Jordan, the Premier of KwaZulu/Natal Sibusiso Ndebele and Mrs. Mathabo Kunene.

“Sharing this legacy with future generations is an essential link in the chain that connects the human experience...to the infinite. “

Despite the complexity of the task, The Foundation Trust has had enormous success gathering and cataloguing the unpublished works of the great poet.
