Meshack Mavuso, best known for his roles on the SABC3 soapie, Isidingo celebrates Alexandra Township's 100 years with a tribute theatre musical.
Meshack along with Zakhele Mabasa, his childhood friend, co-founded "One Square Mile" a Musical theatre production in celebration of Alexandra township centenary existence. "One Square Mile" relives the township's vibrancy on stage, tells the untold stories in a form of art; from how this well-known township came into existence; living in the music footsteps from the suburbs, drafting the hardships and triumphs by its people, for the masses.
"One Square Mile is a potpourri of music , dance and singing a racy piece of high art the will bring the important aspects of Alex to life a kaleidoscope of bright colour costumes accompanied by high energy dancing from pantsula , mkhukhu and modern dancing. It captures all the Alexandrian culture. It takes down memory lane from The 1957 Alexandra Bus Boycott, Msomi and the Spoilers gangs.
"We are excited to bring the history of Alexandra to life. What better way to do it, than on stage? We hope that this art display will leave the audience with valuable insight and encourage many to appreciate the challenges and the victories of those that came before us, thus inspire today's generation to strive for greater heights in the wake of opportunities at our present day's disposal" says Meshack.
