To kick-start such activities, as of the 28th November until 10th December 2023, the Dumisani Masilela Theatre in Germiston, will be a hive of activities, showcasing productions such as the Gibson Khente’s “How Long Mfowethu”. There will also be double bills with a variety of pieces from different producers as well as Christmas carols to keep theatre lovers on the urge of their seats.
