EBHUNGENI
WALTER SISULU UNIVERSITY
Theatre / Rehearsal Room

Ebhungeni is a theatre production set in rural Eastern Cape. The community is faced with drugs, stock theft, witchcraft, and crime, and all the solutions they have tried seem to fail. This leads them – in some instances – to look to the South African Police Services and the court of law to handle the cases they are struggling to resolve.
