A MUSICAL that looks into the friction between Christianity and traditional beliefs called Ukholo the Musical will be on display in Bulawayo this weekend.
The play that will feature Lady Tshawe and Agnes Ncube will premiere tomorrow at 5PM and also show on Sunday at the Bulawayo Theatre.
Produced by Sam Bongo, written by Jeffrey Sibanda and directed by Bafana Dladla (SA), it’s cast has been hard at work rehearsing at Harvest House (Fife Street branch).
Lady Tshawe said she took up the role as a new challenge and to fulfil the dream of a budding producer.
“When I started this career path, a lot of people took a risk with me. They decided to ‘try’ me out and give me a platform to do what I love!
“This is why I decided to be a part of Ukholo as I get to see someone else’s dream being given a chance and see new talent being explored and inspire one to follow their dream during the play,” said Lady Tshawe.
She said Ukholo was not only about belief on stage, but was also a reminder of why she was in the arts.
Producer of the play, Bongo said the musical speaks about the conflict between Christianity and worship of ancestral spirits. He said he wanted to revamp Christian entertainment with this play.
