BORN IN THE RSA

Proudly South African production for uShaka’s Upper Deck.

“Pap, wors, braaivleis and biltong! Can you believe that we gloss over the fantastic talent we have in our own country and stick to American or British music! Yet, we have amazing sounds and rhythms right in our own backyard. Eish! Isn’t it time we celebrated our very own “cruel, crazy, beautiful world?”

So say the organisers of the next show at uShaka Marine World’s Upper Deck, Born in the RSA. Described as “a proudly South African production”, it’s about two characters – Rob and Bunz - from different worlds within the same country who find their common ground through music.

Featuring Rob Warren and the ZAFFA band as well as the immensely talented Bandile Hlope, this show celebrates the vibrant and colourful place that is South Africa. It moves from the country’s political woes to its many triumphs - Madiba as the country’s hero, the Rugby World Cup and finally the Soccer World Cup.

The show features songs from South Africa’s big names - Mango Groove, Johnny Clegg, Freshly Ground, The Parlotones and Miriam Makeba as well as those that are sadly seldom featured in supper theatre shows – Just Jinjer, the late great Lucky Dube, Syd Kitchen, the Springbok Nude Girls and more …

Born in the RSA runs from May 27 to July 10 with shows from Thursdays to Saturdays. Show tickets R60 exclude food and beverages and booking is via Computicket. For more information call 031 328 8107.
