SIMPLY SPEAKING’S LIT PERFORMANCES

MBABANE – To end the year on a high, Simply Speaking is bringing the element of music into the talk-show.

After a resounding success hosting talks on various topics nationally, much-loved talk-show ‘Simply Speaking’ will today host its last talk for the year at the Eswatini Theatre Club in Mbabane today. Co-anchored by the on-demand event hosting duo of Lindokuhle ‘LeendorM’ Mthupha and Phila ‘Ph.D’ Dlamini, starting at 6pm, today’s instalment of the show will be centred around countering ‘Sexual and Gender Based Violence’ and will be structured into two parts, blending the show’s trademark panel discussion comprising Senele Mdluli (Counselling Psychologist), Zenziwe Mabaso (survivor) and a SWAGAA representative, Gcinaphi ‘Codi’ Ndlovu.

Celebrated

Performances to add some much-needed lightness to the intensity of the night will be offered by some of the kingdom’s celebrated artists including Sands, Mozaik, Smallz The Comedian, The Last Man (Poet) and Phasha. This instalment is a collaboration between Simply Speaking, The 4 Musk-Art-eers and Kwakha Indvodza. Simply Speaking pioneer Philani Mpanza said tonight’s show was curated around the belief that conversations of Sexual and Gender Based Violence have to be calendar-neutral. “For them to be conclusively countered, we ought to collectively commit to openly talking about and addressing them while also necessarily steering away from the toxic tibi tendlu  mentality which continues to ravage families, left, right and centre.

Conversations

“Importantly with the dawn of the new year, we are saying; “Let us equally do better in this fight!” – and may we invite everyone to join us again tonight as we engage further on such necessary conversations,” said Mpanza, commenting on the event. Entrance fee will only be E50 and all gate collections will be donated to IMERSE and New Leap of Life Foundation; both being youth-led organisations working on mental health education and related issues.
