The Market Theatre Foundation invites you to celebrate 200 years of Basotho heritage with an exclusive staged reading of Mantsopa, Dr. Jerry Mofokeng Wa Makhetha’s latest work-in-progress.
Mantsopa tells the story of a powerful prophetess who guided King Moshoeshoe through challenging times, highlighting the often-overlooked role of women in history. This event coincides with the 58th anniversary of Lesotho’s independence, making it a special celebration of Basotho culture and legacy.
Expect an engaging reading with musical elements that will leave you humming Basotho tunes long after. Wear your traditional Seshoeshoe or kobo and join us for this cultural celebration!
