  • Mpume Mthombeni | Isidlamlilo
    In this interlude, Mpume Mthombeni performs an extract from the theatre production, Isidlamlilo. In the relief of 1994, we did not have the opportunity to process the bloodshed in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng’s East Rand during the "deadly decade" between 1984 and 1994. At that time, even the daily newspapers couldn’t keep up with the onslaught of violence. It is here that we meet Zenzile Maseko, 'Isidlamlilo', the fire-eater. A former assassin for the Inkatha Freedom Party, now a grandmother, partially disabled and declared dead by Home Affairs. In a room in a women’s hostel in Umlazi, Durban, she appeals to God for forgiveness and shares her dreams, regrets and hopes for freedom.   Isidlamlilo is produced by Empatheatre, directed by Neil Coppen, written by: Neil Coppen in collaboration with Mpume Mthombeni and performed by Mpume Mthombeni.

About FreedomAfter

A podcast by the Nelson Mandela Foundation about Freedom. In 1994, South Africa became a democracy, an event that is often credited for ushering in freedom for South Africa. However, there are many significant residues of Apartheid that remain - in our globally unmatched levels of inequality, the persistence of racism and sexism, and many other areas. In the ’freedomafter’, what have we done to gain the freedom that we have, and what must we do to gain more freedom? In this series, we speak with poet and author, Maneo Mohale; artist, Siyabonga Mthembu; organiser and author, Kelly-Eve Koopman; sangoma, Vuyiswa Xekatwane; veteran activist, Mark Heywood; acclaimed actor, Mpume Mthombeni; teacher and author, Karen Hurt; as well as law professor, Tshepo Madlingozi about freedom. Produced by Showcast Media Cover artwork by Pola Maneli Original Score by Sibusile Xaba noThingo Hosted and directed by Kneo Mokgopa
