How do you make poetry accessible to everyone especially to those for whom verse is not their cup of tea?
Albert Nyathi is a man who has made that challenge his life's mission.
Poetry has been a passion of his from a young age, even as a young boy in Zimbabwe, tending cattle after school, he'd compose praise songs about his herding dog.
Decades later, Albert Nyathi named his accompanying band Imbongi which means praise singer.
He's currently on a performance tour of UK universities so came to talk to Network Africa's Bola Mosuro about his dub poetry performances.
