The 2026 Doek Literary Festival and Bank Windhoek are collaborating to raise awareness for the Cancer Apple Project by challenging this year’s festival guests to drop the cleverest apple references during their conversations. The best references will be chosen by the loudness of audience members’ “appl(e)ause”.
The winner was Mervyn Sloman, the owner of The Book Lounge in Cape Town and a director of the Open Book Festival, who was awarded one of Katherine Hunter’s artworks, generously paid for by Bank Windhoek.
