 ==History==
-It was founded by playwright [[Fatima Dike]] and producer/director [[Roy Sargeant]] in 2001. The ultimate goal is to establish a major, theatrical repertory company, which would have a stock of plays and performances that it can perform at regular intervals. Such a company would provide work for South African theatre workers on two-to three- year contracts and builds up a loyal audience because of its constant presence in the market place. Initially Siyisanga was based in Langa, putting on small plays for tourists visiting the Gugu S'Thebe Centre in Langa and at schools. In 2007, it moved to Artscape. Early productions were staged jointly with [[Artscape]].
