Junction Avenue Theatre Company - Sophiatown

Educational edition. Resource material by Joanette van der Merwe.

Until its destruction by government decree in the mid-1950s, Sophiatown was the 'Chicago of South Africa', a vibrant community that produced not only gangsters and shebeen queens, but leading journalists, writers, musicians and politicians.
