A Howl In Makhanda

by Jannous Nkululeko Aukema

A Howl in Makhanda is a semi-autobiographical work about two black and two white South African teenage schoolgirls. The play catalogues the struggle and resistance of girlhood, and makes visible the normalisation of the criminalising of black bodies. The play explores the themes of racism and sexism, peer pressure, religion, family, loyalty, freedom and identity.
