-In "''Sweat''", Chakela takes us on a spirited journey in song and dance through the dark years of oppres¬sion in South Africa and the current search for truth and reconciliation. This is not your typical play, but a finely crafted tapestry of drama, poetry, a capella music and dance woven by a master storyteller. It's an African epic in four sections span¬ning the creation of man to the pre¬sent day

-The title, Sweat, alludes to the fall of Adam and man's banishment from paradise. Man was condemned to labour. In Chakela's case this is the sweat of Johannesburg's mig¬rant workers, the sweat of Soweto's student activists and the suffering of a fragile octogenarian bent over a microphone as he testifies before the truth commission.
