Nongqawuse returns to Joburg Theatre
Joburg Theatre is set to open its 2026 programme with a powerful new production revisiting one of South Africa’s most debated historical events. The Rise and Fall of the African Gospel: Nongqawuse created, written and directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Mbongeni Moroke will be staged on 30 and 31 January 2026 at the iconic Braamfontein venue.
The musical brings to life the dramatic events of 1856/57, when the prophecy of a young Xhosa girl, Nongqawuse, led to the mass cattle killings that devastated the Xhosa nation.
