Motlhala comes to Maitisong

Motlhala is written and directed by Neo Kebiditswe, and was recognised amongst Africa’s formidable female playwrights of 2017/2018.

In an interview with Arts and Culture, Kebiditswe said Motlhala currently was in Africa’s Top 10 and has been selected as the official text for a dramatic reading at the Women Playwrights International Conference in Chile, from October 7 to 12 this year. “Motlhala is parallel to the festival’s theme of ‘lore lo ojwa lo sale metsi’, as it consists of professional young actors and crew working under the guidance of myself and my co-producer, Kealeboga Mosekiemang. It is an original African story that explores tradition, love and tragedy,” she explained.
