Celebration of activist and artist Molefe Pheto
LONDON - The "Molefe Pheto at 90 Celebration" will be held at the Soweto Theatre. It will be in honour of the musician, teacher, poet, novelist and activist in the Black Consciousness Movement. Pheto became a political prisoner under the 1963 Terrorism Act and was held at the notorious John Vorster Square Police Station in Johannesburg. He left the country in 1977 after the murder of Steve Biko by the apartheid police, making Britain his home in exile. Pheto's memoir was banned under apartheid but was released in 1983 by a London publisher. Professor Eugene Skeef, artistic director of the "Molefe Pheto @90 Celebration" and fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, had a discussion with eNCA on this upcoming celebration.
