PART DANCE, PART LIFESTYLE, ‘PANTSULA’ HAS ITS ROOTS IN APARTHEID-ERA JOHANNESBURG WHEN BRIGHT OVERALLS WERE THE STANDARD UNIFORM FOR BLACK MEN EMPLOYED AS GARDENERS IN WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS. IT’S A THEATRICAL REFLECTION OF TOWNSHIP LIFE WHERE ANY PLACE CAN BE THE STAGE AND ANYONE CAN CREATE THEIR OWN NARRATIVE.
