 [[FUBA]] was among the first private organisations to provide training in acting, music, and fine arts for Africans during the 1980s and 1990s. Thus, their student body was drawn from the townships. At that time, there were no galleries in Soweto and FUBA was a viable outlet for Soweto based artists and those seeking instruction and exhibition space.
-It's training arm became known as the [[Fuba Academy of Arts]]. Later the [[Fuba School Of Drama And Visual Arts]] and the [[Fuba School of Music]].
+[[FUBA]] does not seem to have had a sustained community theatre programme during 1984-1994. One notable production was Wole Soyinka’s ''[[The Lion and the Jewel]]'', directed by [[Lourens Cilliers]]. The cast consisted of [[Ernest Ngcobo]], [[Lesego Motsepe]], [[Robert Aphane]], [[Sinah Molefi]], [[Zonke Hlatshwayo]], [[Rapulana Seiphemo]], a combination of full time and part-time FUBA drama students. The performance took place in FUBA’s dance studio as they did not have their own space for theatre productions
