“Meet Bro Six Two” is a hard-hitting and tense tale about the journey of Six Two Moshoeshoe’s survival. He is a former dice gambler who tells his story of unfair dismissal, police corruption and the intensity of fraud levels that may provide a better insight into the high rate of unemployment in South Africa.
Brought up in a rural area in KwaZulu–Natal; Six Two and his friend face the reality of starvation and are forced into a routine of stealing vegetables at Meneer van Wyk’s farm. Tired of the exhausting tsotsi lifestyle, he decides to change direction by looking for a job in the nearest town. Using forged certificates and the right connections, his plan succeeds. Once accepted, he cheers and celebrates hoping to live a better life but his hope is shortened as his new-found opportunity proves to be the beginning of his nightmares.
Written and directed by Samson M Mlambo, “Meet Bro Six Two” stars Wiseman Mncube, a DUT Drama Studies graduate. Mncube received the Best Actor/Performer and Standing Ovation awards at this year’s annual Musho Festival for his role in this one-man show.
