Born on October 27, 1917, Oliver Reginald Kaizana Tambo lived a comfortable life in the Eastern Cape and would grow up to be an important figure in South African history before his death in 1993.<\/p>\n
His role in defying the laws of the apartheid regime was and still is something to be celebrated.<\/p>
In light of this, Zwelibanzi Sibiya has written a theatre production to celebrate OR Tambo\u2019s life and legacy, titled, Light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n
He is also the director of the production.<\/p>
The play will star well-known performers such as Lerato Mvelase, Siphiwe Nkosi and Sello Ramolahloane.<\/p>\n
The choreography will be done by Brian Mazibuko.<\/p>\n
The show will run for four days at the Germiston Theatre.<\/p>\n
Zwelibanzi has committed to sponsoring a number of local schools to attend the show in order for the youth to learn more about the ANC stalwart.<\/p>\n
The learners will be transported to the OR Tambo Cultural Precinct in Wattville, Benoni and then to the theatre to watch the production.<\/p>\n
Locals can catch the production on October 20, 21, 27 and 28.<\/p>\n
All shows will start at 3pm.<\/p>\n
No entry fee will be charged, however, a donation of sanitary pads will be required for access to be granted.<\/p>\n
