Johan is one of the most commonly found first names, and Fourie equally widespread as a surname in South Africa, thus there are a number of individuals involved in theatre named Johan Fourie.


Johan Fourie

FOURIE, Johan (19**-19**) Actor, director and touring company manager. Started off with the Kaapstadse Afrikaanse Toneelvereniging (K.A.T.) before becoming fully-professional. Played in Die Kwaksalwer (19*) for André Huguenet. * In the 1950s and 1960s he toured rural towns with his own professional company, the Johan Fourie Toneelgeselskap, one of the last to do so. (See Du Toit, 1988) [JH]

He was contracted to visit 130 platteland towns with Die Laaste van die Takhare in the name of and in co-operation with CAPAB in 1966. CAPAB paid R50 per performance, box-office takings were presumably for the account of the contracted company.
