The Sestigers (Sixtiers), also known as the Beweging van Sestig ("the movement of the sixties"), were a dissident literary movement of Afrikaans-language poets and writers in South Africa under apartheid.

The Sestigers earned their name from the magazine started by André Brink and Bartho Smit. in 1963.Unfortunately it didn't last very long, but it did mark a seismic change in Afrikaans literature and its name has lived on ever since.
