Have You Seen Zandile?

SOWETO THEATRE AND SIBIKWA ARTS CENTRE PARTNER TO BRING SOUTH AFRICAN CLASSIC ‘HAVE YOU SEEN ZANDILE?’ TO BENONI.

‘Have You Seen Zandile?’ is a universal story of resilience that continues to resonate deeply with audiences across generations.  The production will be staged at Sibikwa Arts Centre in Benoni, offering a poignant exploration of South African history and the resilience of the human spirit.

Set against a backdrop of financial hardship and political unrest, the play follows Zandile’s journey, a story that delves into the complexities of love, the agony of broken dreams, and the enduring strength required to overcome adversity. Through a powerful blend of song, laughter, and raw emotion, the production brings to life themes of family, identity, and the search for belonging.

From 14-26 April, the ‘Have You Seen Zandile?’ production written by the legendary Gcina Mhlophe and directed  by the theatre- acclaimed MoMo Matsunyane, will be live on the Sibikwa stage. Schools, community  groups and theatre lovers are invited to book their tickets for R80 on Webtickets to see this cross-generational immersive performance come to life.
