Why Sarafina is still a relevant story for the youth of today

Home » Why Sarafina is still a relevant story for the youth of today Noxolo Dlamini, pictured, will reprise her role as Sarafina in Mpho Molepo's interpretation of this iconic stage production. Image: supplied The seminal stage production Sarafina is set to return this Youth Month. Helmed by the creative vision of Mpho Molepo, this production is still near and dear to the hearts of South Africans. This lauded musical tells the story of the Soweto Uprising during the old regime. It follows Sarafina, a young girl from Soweto who covets freedom. Drawing on the wisdom of a teacher of hers, she urges her classmates to oppose the oppressive system they are being subjected to, which, among other things, is forcing them to be taught in Afrikaans. The much-celebrated Mbongeni Ngema first directed and choreographed the original stage production in 1986. This premiered at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg in June 1987. The vaunted film adaptation was rendered by Darrell James Roodt. He directed the 1992 film adaptation, which starred legends like Leleti Khumalo, Whoopi Goldberg, and Miriam Makeba. Fast forward to 2025, and this production is back, but this time with the talented Molepo at the controls. 'It's humbling. Sarafina isn't just a musical, it's a national treasure. It captures a pivotal time in our history through music, movement, and spirit. To be entrusted with that legacy, especially on a stage as iconic as Joburg Theatre, is a privilege I don't take lightly. It's about balancing reverence for what came before while speaking to the now,' he said. COMPILING A CAST TO CARRY THIS WEIGHTY STORY Molepo explained how casting this production was about finding voices that carried both strength and vulnerability. 'I was looking for performers who could live truthfully in their characters, not just act or sing well, but who understood the soul of the story. Each role demanded emotional depth, raw energy, and a commitment to telling the truth of our past with integrity.' Reprising the lead role of Sarafina will be Noxolo Dlamini, whom Molepo couldn't be happier with. 'Noxolo brings fire to the stage and embodies Sarafina with such authenticity and command. She understands the complexity of the character: the hope, the defiance, the youthful spirit. She carries the legacy of Sarafina with grace but also injects a freshness that resonates with today's audiences. Her performance is both homage and evolution,' he fawned. The story is a timeless offering, but one we have probably encountered more than once. With South Africa's youth still feeling the pressures of life in this nation, how does a director go about bringing this story into the modern era, while ensuring the essence of the story is not compromised? 'I think as a director, you're always reflecting what could be tighter, more resonant, more daring. If I had unlimited resources, I'd expand the immersive elements to bring audiences even closer to the world of the students, perhaps even break the fourth wall more often. But within our means, I'm proud of the emotional immediacy we've achieved.' Molepo, a native of Orlando Soweto, said that striking a balance between the struggles of the youth back then and now is what he placed at the core of the work. 'We've incorporated contemporary staging, nuanced character dynamics, and visuals that resonate with today's struggles, youth unemployment, activism, and identity. 'The soul of Sarafina is timeless: the fight for justice, the power of youth, the resilience of spirit. We've just translated that spirit into a 2025 context without losing its historical pulse.' With a story as adored as much as Sarafina , a changing of the guard or passing of the torch is always necessary. With that in mind, Molepo made sure to seek an audience with Mbongeni Ngema before he passed away in December of 2023. 'I've been fortunate to receive support and encouragement from voices who were part of the original magic. Mbongeni Ngema's blessing means everything, it affirms that we're on the right path, honouring the heart of Sarafina while also making it speak to now. Those conversations have grounded the work in legacy.' This story is a rollercoaster of emotions. Soaring crescendos, existential conundrums and of course, subject matter that is still rooted in an abundance of trauma. It is a concoction of emotions, but Molepo hopes you will find the offering uplifting. 'I hope audiences leave reminded of the strength and courage that lives in our collective memory—and that they feel inspired to keep the flame of change alive. Sarafina isn't just history—it's a mirror. As for its future, I see it continuing to evolve across languages, across borders, across mediums. It's a story that still has much to teach the world.' Sarafina is currently showing at The Joburg Theatre until June 15. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.

WATCH as Vladimir Tretchikoff painting smashes world auction record

Strauss & Co set a new world record for Russia-born South African painter Vladimir Tretchikoff with the sale of his 1955 portrait Lady from the Orient for R31 110 000 ($1 731 845 / £1 283 432). The iconic painting was sold to an anonymous telephone bidder after a dramatic flurry of 89 bids, narrowly beating a determined in-room contender at the live auction in Johannesburg. The final price, inclusive of commission and taxes, comfortably eclipses the previous world record for a Tretchikoff work, set at £982 050 in March 2013 at a London auction for Chinese Girl (1952). 'It is always good when there is a murmur before a big lot,' said auctioneer Alastair Meredith as he introduced Lady from the Orient . Bidding opened briskly and quickly escalated. 'We've breached the $1 million mark,' he remarked after accepting a bid of R18 million. The excitement mounted. 'The next bid is R25.2 million, which is something I have never said,' he shortly added. It took nine more bids before the painting found its new owner at new world record price. Cue flurry of applause. Lady from the Orient depicts 21-year-old Valerie Howe, daughter of a Cape Town grocer, and is one of Tretchikoff's most recognisable works. Drawing inspiration from Pre-Raphaelite painting and Golden Age Hollywood glamour, the portrait features Howe in a vivid green silk gown rendered in Vladimir Tretchikoff's signature Technicolor palette. The work belongs to a small group of iconic images produced by the artist during the decade following his move to South Africa in 1946. A print edition of Lady from the Orient became a popular sensation in 1960s Britain. The auction delivered strong results for William Kentridge, George Pemba, JH Pierneef, Gerard Sekoto and Anton van Wouw, affirming robust interest in a cross-section of South African art. The 100-lot sale of modern and contemporary art earned a combined total of over R62.9 million.

Industry colleagues express respect for the late Presley 'Cobrizi' Chweneyagae

JOHANNESBURG - Industry colleagues of Presley Chweneyagae have expressed their respect for the late actor, saying he not only left a mark in the arts but in the lives of all South Africans. Fellow actor Israel Matseke Zulu has described his beloved friend as a legend who gave of his love for his craft on screen. Affectionately calling him Cobrizi, he says Chweneyagae was testament to the saying that where one comes from does not define how they shape their life. ALSO READ: Late Presley Chweneyagae hailed as a powerhouse actor Zulu, who was also in the Oscar-winning film Tsosti reiterated the call for the government to pour resources into the industry. "To all the stakeholders, to all the departments of government, to all the organisations, to all the activists, artists, celebrities, icons, it's our responsibility to create our own wealth, that will produce and reproduce us and benefit us." He added that despite Chweneyagae's talent, the South African industry failed to celebrate him accordingly. "There's a lot we can talk about, sometimes it's unnecessary. To be in Hollywood is not to be in heaven. Yes, we won the Oscar, we brought the Oscar in the country, but Oscar doesn't make you a millionaire."
