The Africa Centre, in collaboration with the Institute of Creative Arts, presents the last instalment of the Infecting the City Sessions for 2016, in Langa, on Youth Day, today Thursday June 16. Curated by performer Khanyisile Mbongwa, the session will explore the theme What Will We Tell Freedom? and will start at noon in Washington Street between Mendi Avenue and Jungle Walk.
