Description / content note
-
This kind of performance between three friends is the next step from Nthano story telling, towards light opera, but without a solid theme except the all too common subject of borrowed money. "Work Tsotsi, its your habit to work at night and come late for your food, when it is cold. Tsosti boys and girls eat their food cold." "One man had borrowed money from the other. He hedged when asked where it was, saying "It was given to so and so to give back to him." "This woman has a lot of beads. Never mind even if she had beads all the way from her waist to her feet, it would do me no good, because wise men's wives do not have beads around their waists. So better to have my wife without them." Sketch.
