The Drama Society on the North-West University’s (NWU’s) Mahikeng Campus will be hosting a theatrical event on 20 October 2022 in the Great Hall.

The aim of this event is to showcase what the NWU Drama Society is all about. The society wants to make a long-term difference in the lives of students by addressing student life issues and bringing hope through their performances, and by encouraging students to develop their talents.

“The first part towards making our event a success, is to ensure that our members are well prepared, and for that we will make good use of the time leading up to the performance,” says Ontiretse Motingwa, chairperson of the Drama Society.

According to Ontiretse, students face many issues that do not only affect them, but also those close to them.

“We have purposefully chosen a date before the exams as a way of encouraging students, taking the burden off their shoulders – even if only for a few hours. We want to assure them that they are not alone and that they are understood.”
