As the gap between Africa and the West widens, Beauty Ramapelepele is torn between the capitalist trappings of western society and the familiar traditions of her home, South Africa. To keep her options open she has strengthened her ANC ties and at the same time taken an all expenses first class trip with the department of tourism to showcase South Africa to the old foe, England, as well as some other western powers.
That’s what her itinerary says anyway. But is she just looking to fast track her own immigration?
Funny, fiery and fresh, Bend It Like Beauty has played in London for a three week season and now tours South Africa, taking in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, and The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown where Bend it Like Beauty won and Ovation Award for Best Comedy.
