Women’s Day programme at BAT Centre
This Women’s Day, the BAT Centre will host a series of transformative events under the banner of honouring, remembering and reclaiming the power of South African women. Among these is the poignant and visually compelling solo exhibition Ukukhanya Kwamakhosikazi (The Light of Women) by poet and artist Ncumisa Mcitwa, which anchors the day’s commemorations.
The programme forms part of a national reflection on the ongoing crisis of gender-based violence and offers a space for both grief and growth.
The day’s events will include:
A Women’s March through the inner city of Durban, honouring the lives of women and girls lost to GBV and calling for justice and accountability.
A Panel Discussion with leading voices in activism, the arts, and mental health — unpacking the role of community in healing trauma and the urgency of systemic change.
The Ukukhanya Kwamakhosikazi exhibition opening features live poetry, performance art and a curated visual journey through women’s stories of pain, resistance and hope. The programme will be hosted at the BAT Centre on Saturday, August 9 from 10:00.

Musical at Hilton
The original pocket musical Actress, conceived and written by Talia Kodesh and Bruce Dennill and starring Kodesh with direction by Daniel Geddes, will be on stage at the Margot Chamberlain Music Centre – Recital Hall, Hilton College as part of the Hilton Arts Festival from August 8-10.
Actress is a musical dramedy; a funny, moving story of a woman trying to define (and succeed in) her different roles – actress, wife, mother, daughter, teacher, and more – while juggling the complexities of all of those responsibilities. It’s a tale that anyone who has ever had to adjust to new expectations in all walks of life – their own or someone else’s – will relate to. Plus showtunes! Pack your dancing shoes, your Theraband, your passport and your tissues. The show also features eight original songs by Dennill.
Actress stars Kodesh and features Nathan Ro as ‘Random Props Guy’. The creative dream team has multiple Naledi, Fleur Du Cap and Vita Awards and nominations among them. Actress has received fantastic reviews from critics and audiences. Tickets available via Webtickets.
