Featuring Co-Artistic Directors Carlo Campbell and Walter DeShields, Egoli is a look into the world of miners in South Africa, depicting lives that are often overlooked, as they struggle with racial inequality, poverty, and systemic incarceration. Manaka was a pivotal player in the grassroots black theatre movement that grew out of the 1976 Soweto uprisings protesting the government’s political repression and extreme state censorship. Published in 1980, the play was banned by the South African government in 1981.
