Also known as [[MDALI]] (from '''umDali''' , “creator”). Founded in 197*. An umbrella organisation for several groups in the greater Johannesburg area (including [[Mihloti]]), notably in townships like Alexandra and Soweto. Similar in its aims and purpose to the Durban based [[SABTU]] through its support of the [[Black Consciousness Movement]] and sharing a number of activities, [[MDALI]] neverhteless had a more hard-line approach to black emancipation, emphatically rejecting any affiliation with white facilitators or so-called integrated theatre and cultural groups, and deploring the crass commercialization of [[Gibson Kente]]’s work and works such as [[Ipi Tombi]]. The leader of [[MDALI]] in 1973 was [[Molefe Pheto]].**?? ***Short-lived black theatrical group, it was closed down by a banning order in 19**. (
