Youth Month 2026: Honouring 50 Years Since 1976

This June marks 50 years since the 1976 Soweto Uprising a defining moment led by young people who carried the fight for justice with unwavering courage.

To honour their legacy, young artists from the Sol Plaatje Municipality will use their talents to remember, reflect, and inspire. Following the success of our Take a Child to the Theatre campaign on 20 March 2026, we’re inviting young audiences and their families to join us again not just as spectators, but as active contributors.

How you can support

We’re calling for donations of clothes, sanitary towels, and canned food. All contributions will go directly to vulnerable members of our community.

Youth Day Programme

Our 16 June programme speaks to the spirit of 1976 while building the South Africa we want now: unity in diversity, national reconciliation, social cohesion, and a shared identity. It’s about mass participation — professionals and young people creating together, on stage and off.

Fundraiser Performance

We’ll also present our award‑winning musical IreOlúwa, ahead of its run at the National Arts Festival, 25 June – 05 July 2026. This showcase doubles as a fundraiser to get our cast to Makhanda.

Join us

Date: 16 June 2026
Time: 12:00
Venue: Northern Cape Theatre
Tickets: R30
Refreshments on sale.

This Youth Month, remember with us. Create with us. Give with us.

A song about Orisha Oko. 18 March 2026 at the Sol Plaatje University in collaboration with the faculty of Humanities Siza Nkosi

Orisha Oko, guardian of the earth
Nourisher of life, from birth
With gentle hands, you tend the land
Planting seeds, and harvesting stand

Your fertile touch, brings forth the best
Crops grow strong, and abundant rest
The rhythms of nature, you do keep
A symphony, of growth, and life to reap

In the cycles, of seasons’ sway
You bring forth, a new day
Orisha Oko, we give thanks and praise
For the harvest, and the fertile ways

May your blessings, forever abound
On the land, and all that’s found
Orisha Oko, we honor your name
Guardian of the earth, and all its fame.

Come see this live at the Northern Cape Theatre | 20 March 2026 | 17:00 | R25 together with more than 80+ artists at the Hiyo Te Namu Fest.

The energy at is infectious!

As the sun beats down on Galeshewe, the centre comes alive with the vibrant sounds of music, dance, and laughter. Young people from all walks of life gather to express themselves, to learn, and to grow. The air is electric with creativity and possibility.

In this space, life skills are not just taught – they’re lived. Through music, acting, singing, and dancing, these young people are learning to believe in themselves, to take risks, and to support one another. They’re discovering their passions, building their confidence, and finding their voices.

The impact is palpable a sense of community, a sense of belonging, and a sense of purpose. Amandla Dança Teatro ZA is more than just a centre it’s a movement, a catalyst for change, and a beacon of hope for the youth of Galeshewe.
