“Born Free” is a dramatic exploration of the challenges faced by South African youth in a post-apartheid era. The story centres around KAMUHELO, a passionate student activist, who confronts systemic failures in the education system and broader societal inequalities. As KAMUHELO navigates personal and political struggles, he faces the temptation of corruption but ultimately reaffirms his commitment to genuine change. The play juxtaposes the idealism of youth with the entrenched political dynamics, highlighting both the progress and persistent issues in contemporary South Africa.
Part of the NEXT DRAFT programme at the Joburg Theatre Space.com - presented in partnership with Joburg Theatre Youth Development.
