Tshabalala Bongani: Montsho – South Africa, winner

Montsho, meaning ‘black’, is a word used in South Africa to make fun of a dark-skinned person. The photographer Tshabalala Bongani says: ‘This photograph explores the emotional effects of childhood teasing: depression and low self-esteem. Montsho opens conversations around the representation of the black body and black lives, challenging the idea that blackness is homogenous. For me this photograph is about both destruction and preservation; it’s about what we choose to embrace after going through trauma’

Bongani Tshabalala: Inner Journey

‘My personal experiences influenced me to create this work. I found myself plagued by an intense (unwarranted) fear and doubt over my longstanding sexual orientation as a man, a concept recently described as homosexual obsessive compulsive disorder (HOCD). 

I intentionally placed myself in the middle of the photograph to emphasise my presence. The lack of emotion depicts absence of hope and happiness, and an emotional disconnect from the rest of the world’

Bafana are back in the big time and have Nigeria in their sights at Afcon

South Africa takes on Nigeria at 2019 Afcon quarter-finals

There was Phil Masinga’s long-range scorcher in August 1997 that ensured Bafana Bafana’s qualification for the 1998 World Cup. Then there was Siphiwe Tshabalala’s sublime left-footed missile in the opening match of the 2010 World Cup. And in the list of all-time great goals for South Africa in international football, now there is Thembinkosi Lorch’s sweet finish against Egypt, which shocked African football as the men from Mzansi dumped the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations hosts out of the tournament.

Despair for the host nation but joy for South Africa, who are in the Afcon quarter-finals for the first time since 2013 thanks to the 1-0 win over Egypt. Their next challenge is against Nigeria on Wednesday. And who Stuart Baxter selects for the clash against the Super Eagles is anyone’s guess. Lorch, the match winner against Egypt, was thrust into Bafana’s starting lineup for that match having previously not played a single minute at Afcon 2019.

Baxter has settled on his preferred back four, with Ronwen Williams also emerging as the first-choice goalkeeper since Darren Keet got a match against Namibia in matchday 2. But the coach has chopped and changed his midfield and attack throughout the tournament and even though his side struggled through the group phase, he will argue that the policy is paying dividends. They are in the quarter-finals, after all.

Wednesday’s matchup against Nigeria will provide another stern test, as the West Africans progressed into the last eight with a dramatic win in a five-goal thriller against Cameroon, the defending champions. The Super Eagles recorded two 1-0 wins in the group stage before losing to Madagascar to finish second in Group B. Nigeria, despite their inconsistency, are a quality team with the likes of captain Jon Obi Mikel bringing heaps of experience to the midfield while players such as Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi and Levante’s Moses Simon represent a serious threat in the final third.

Bafana key player: Bongani Zungu has been near ever-present for his country in the tournament and the 26-year-old midfielder will have a key role to play if Bafana are to build on the remarkable win over Egypt last time out.

Nigeria key player: Alex Iwobi, who plays just behind the striker, did not feature against Madagascar - and his team missed his presence. He returned in the last-16 tie against Cameroon to score what turned out to be the winning goal.

REVIEW: Sophiatown (SAST)

Memorable ‘Sophiatown’ at State Theatre

On the stages at the South African State Theatre are two musicals created in the 1980’s, both works play out against the backdrops of the politics of their respective times. Sarafina is set in the 1970’s against the backdrop of the 1976 student uprisings. Sophiatown is set in the freehold suburb of Sophiatown, in 1955, the year that the National Party apartheid government forcefully ejected the residents and moved them to various locations separated by race.

Sophiatown the musical tells the story of a Jewish woman who responds to an advert placed in Drum magazine by one of its writers, Jakes Mamabolo, to move into a shebeen in Sophiatown. The story tells of the interactions between Ruth, the Jewish woman and the existing tenants in this shebeen, Jakes the writer, the elderly woman who owns the shebeen, her teenage daughter and her gangster son Mingus, his girlfriend Princess and his gopher Charlie, and Mr Fahfee named after the betting game he is obsessed with.

Production Cast

Aubrey Sekhabi (Director)

Kea Moeketsane (Assistant Director)

Bafikile Sedibe (Choreographer)

Thabiso Tshabalala as ‘Jakes’

Caitlin Clerk as ‘Ruth’

Kenneth Mlambo as ‘Fahfee’

Terrence Ignacious Ngwila as ‘Mingus’

Simphiwe Ndlovu as ‘Princess’

Madge Kola as ‘Mamariti’

Zamah Ngubane as ‘Lulu’

Bongani Masango as ‘Charlie’

This play, work-shopped in the 1980’s includes many of the elements of life in the freehold suburb of Sophiatown: the gangsters, the music, the bohemians and the intermingling of the races much to the annoyance of the government at the time. The story is set in the lead up to the evictions in 1955 and ultimately ends when the characters are separated by these destructive events.

The cast is young and this has been raised as a criticism of both productions of Sophiatown on Gauteng stages at the moment. In this production the youthfulness of the cast doesn’t take anything from the story or their performance, with the characters given a liveliness that contrasts the tragic backdrop against which the story is set. It is evident from the outset that Mingus, the gangster is not a good guy, but no character is one dimensional and this is clearly portrayed in an outstanding performance by Terrence Ignacious Ngwila.

Overall this is a particularly enjoyable production of a well known story, that allows the humour in the script to shine through the characters in very natural and believable portrayals.

I highly recommend this production of Sophiatown, which is currently a set work for scholars in Grade 11 in Gauteng.
