Gcina Mhlophe

Nokugcina Elsie Mhlophe (born 24 October 1958) is a South African anti-apartheid activist, actress, storyteller, poet, playwritter, director and author. Storytelling is a deeply traditional activity in Africa and Mhlophe is one of the few woman storytellers in a country dominated by males. She does her work through charismatic performances, working to preserve storytelling as a means of keeping history alive and encouraging South African children to read. She tells her stories in four of South Africas languages: English, Afrikaans, Zulu and Xhosa.
