Protect me from the protectors... – a live poetry performance

On the 24th August 2011, Township Production will be hosting a poetry performance at the UNAM Space Theatre. The performance will form part of the 6th August Public Lecture Series at the University of Namibia.


The Lecture Series is meant to give the UNAM Department of Sociology, the opportunity to reach out to the public beyond the limits of academia. This interest in a public dialogue on socially relevant and critical issues is shared with partners such as the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) and the Namibia Institute for Democracy (NID). For the past five years, the cooperation proved to be a successful format to turn the public's attention to some of the challenges that the Namibian society faces.

Under the theme "Protect me from the protectors..." Poetry will also be a format used to draw attention to some social issues as seen from the eyes, writings, and recitals of Keamogetsi joseph MOLAPONG and other poets. The Poetry Performance is also staged on UNAM Campus, at the University’s Space Theatre. The performances will start 18h00 - 20h00.and is free of charge.
