The play explores Mbeki&#8217;s art of persuasion &#8211; and possible lack of persuasion &#8211; and attempts, at the same time, to satirically represent the effect of his policies and style of governance on the average) citizens of the New South Africa.<br \/> The premise of the story is a &#8220;narrative presentation of Mbeki&#8217;s days in high office as told intriguingly &#8211; and effusively &#8211; by a colourful and fictional youth leader, Dada Mokone, who is based on real-life firebrand ANC Youth League president, Julius Malema&#8221;.<br \/> Key speeches that are examined include I am an African, Two Nations, Nelson Mandela Memorial Lecture and his Resignation speech after he was recalled by the National Executive Committee of the ANC.<br \/> The play stars the sensational TV actor Fezile Mpela as Mbeki and Presley Chweneyagae of the &#8220;Tsotsi&#8221; fame as Mokone.  The supporting roles are played by Phumzile Gumede, Tsholo Monedi and Ontiretse Mayentsa.<br \/>  Post production of video material by Competent Artistes Johannesburg. www.competentartistes.tv<\/p>\n<p style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"RHETORICAL AT THE MARKET THEATRE JOHANNESBURG EXTRACTS GROUP 2 OF 2\" src=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/default-17.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your favourite Johannesburg video.<\/p>\n<p>The video was automatically curated and published with the WordPress WP Robot plugin &#8211; CLICK HERE to learn more about WP Robot for WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the MyPE YouTube Channel.<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/rhetorical-at-the-market-theatre-johannesburg-extracts-group-2-of-2\/\">MyJHB<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\">MyJHB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join the fun:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\">Add Your event<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mypr.co.za\/submit\">Submit a Press Release<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/directory\/\">Add your listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RHETORICAL AT THE MARKET THEATRE JOHANNESBURG EXTRACTS GROUP 2 OF 2: A MyJHB.co.za selected Market Theatre Johannesburg video for you: Rhetorical 15 Nov 2011 &#8211; 20 Nov 2011 Venue: Barney Simon Duration: 80 minutes Ages: 13 The Market Theatre, Goethe Institute, Kaaitheater Brussels and Siemens Stiftung presents Rhetorical by Paul Mpumemlelo Grootboom and Aubrey Sekhabi [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3332],"tags":[13155,3550,3980,2226,18768,3718],"class_list":{"0":"post-76079","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-johannesburg-south-africa","7":"tag-extracts","8":"tag-group","9":"tag-johannesburg","10":"tag-market","11":"tag-rhetorical","12":"tag-theatre","13":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76079\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
