Bongani Bingwa speaks to Mpho Molepo, director of Sarafina!, about the return of the iconic South African production to Soweto as the country reflects on the legacy of the 1976 student uprisings. The discussion explores how the revival honours the original vision of Dr Mbongeni Ngema and the late Hugh Masekela, while reimagining the story for a new generation and highlighting the enduring power of youth activism in shaping South Africa’s future.
