Amaxelegu at The Market Theatre

Amaxelegu, written and directed by Qondiswa James, delves into the complexities of love and relationship dynamics in a contemporary South African context. The play follows Thabisa, portrayed by James, and Azola, played by Luxolo Ndabeni, as they navigate their non-monogamous relationship amid the realities of class and political inequalities. Their interactions are informed by the presence of Mama Priscilla, played by Peggy Mongoato, whose role as a domestic worker highlights the intersections of care, work, and love. This provocative performance takes place at the Magnet Theatre and Azande Theatre from March 18 to 22, 2026.
