Satire at its best in Mamba Republic

Mamba Republic is a rapid-paced satirical sketch-comedy soon to hit theatres countrywide.

BEN Voss and John van de Ruit return with the hottest show in town, delighting audiences with their third production in the Mamba comedy trilogy: Mamba Republic, at Durban’s Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 16 May until 4 June.

Mamba Republic is a rapid-paced satirical sketch-comedy soon to hit theatres countrywide. Reuniting the talents of Ben Voss (Beauty Ramapelepele) and John van de Ruit (Spud), Mamba Republic takes a savagely funny look at all that is wrong and very wrong in the Rainbow Nation.

With their unique blend of sharp wit, hopeless optimism and clever characterisation, the duo sinks their fangs into the fiascos, farces and foibles of South African life. Whether it is their unique take on fees must fall, state capture, online dating, the economy, sport, technology, racism, an alternative national anthem, or even the most unusual football match in living memory, Mamba Republic will have you rolling in the aisles at the utter absurdity of life at the foot of Africa.

Mamba Republic follows in the footsteps of Green Mamba (2002) and Black Mamba (2005) which together racked up over 800 performances in five years, winning numerous awards and developing a cult following all over Southern Africa.

Booking is now open through Computicket or by phoning 0861 915 8000 or visiting the Money Market counters at Shoprite/Checkers.
