Mamelodi Theatre Organisation

Mamelodi Theatre Organisation (Mato) [1] is a Pretoria-based community theatre group founded in 1986, that operates as a self-funded initiative. The organisation, of which Junior Makhoere is a prominent member, has performed at a number of festivals in South Africa, such as the Grahamstown National Arts Festival, the FNB Vita Dance Umbrella, the Klein Karoo Kunstefees and the Aardklop Kunstefees.

At its 30th anniversary celebration Mato research material was handed over to the Unisa Library Archives, on the initiative of Professor Marisa Keuris of the SA Drama and Theatre Heritage project.
