Sarafina II

by Mbongeni Ngema. Hugely funded and controversial AIDS-awareness play written under contract for the Department of Health. First produced at The Natal Playhouse in Durban in 199*. Eventually the production was stopped as a result of public outcry, the opposition of AIDS-activists and the investigations by the Heath Commission into financial irregularities in the allocation and management of the R14 million allocated for the play by Ngema and his company, Committed Artists.
