Vafa Naraghi’s 'Becoming South African' traces his journey from growing up as a Persian boy in Mahikeng at the tail end of apartheid to becoming a multilingual performer who has lived and worked across South Africa. Through sharp wit and heartfelt storytelling, Vafa unpacks the absurdities, contradictions, and quiet beauty of a democracy still finding itself. With humour that disarms and connects, the show explores themes of identity, culture, belonging and national pride - inviting audiences to laugh, reflect, and reimagine what it truly means to be South African.
