South African State Theatre CEO Sibongiseni Mkhize is hoping to see a play of a different kind, one in which justice is meted out to the eight people accused of stealing more than R24 million from the arts organisation.
Sitting in the gallery of the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria, Mkhize looked on as two former State Theatre employees and their six co-accused made a first appearance on charges of money laundering, fraud and theft.
As the accused entered the court, they tried to conceal their appearance by covering their faces with jackets, hoodies and face masks.
