BBC World Service’s African Performance contest for 2006 was won by a Kenyan teacher and columnist John Rugoiyo Gichuki. His 2006 entry, Eternal Forever, is Science Fiction! This guy won for 2004 as well (though that one wasn’t an SF play as far as I can tell). Hopefully there will be more Speculative Fiction entries for the 2007 contest. The good news, you can listen to the 2006 winner and the runner ups (none else are SF) HERE. Details on Eternal Forever itself follow…
