Mbovu Malinga

Hometown:  Free-State “Qwa-Qwa”  
Current City: Cape Town
Considers self: a performing artist

Is also seen as: a board member for two of Cape Town based Dance company (Sibonelo Dance Company & Darkroom Dance Company) & Coordinator for an annual theatre workshop for International Theatre & Literacy Project (ITLP)

Artist Statement:
Cape Town, in my eyes, is the capital city of capitalist in South Africa. It is seen by the world as the most beautiful city in South Africa... yet that is not the true because people from outside (tourists)... only get to see the sides  that capitalists designed for them to see.  This is the most expensive city in South Africa.  Designed to keep the majority of the people out and keep the minority capitalist in as their own lifelong heaven.  Few of the majority own land here. They forever work for the landlord or stay somewhere in the filthy and crowded squatter camps with no basic living conditions like running water, proper sanitation and electricity.  I am a performing artists, a community developer and activist.
