THE TX HUB IGNITES MAKHANDA
A SACRED FLAME FROM TEMBISA TO THE WORLD

We have arrived.
The TX Hub stands tall at the National Arts Festival, not as guests, but as a blazing force of artistic revolution.

With the unwavering support of the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation,
we have journeyed from the heart of the township to the soul of South African theatre. Princess Alice is our temple.
Every performance is a ritual. Every word a spark.
Every body on stage carries the prayers of home, the power of story, the prophecy of tomorrow.

The room is on fire. The work is alive. The temperature is rising.

We bring heat where it’s cold,
truth where it’s silent,
and light where it’s dim. Step in. Feel it. Witness it.
It will be warm, it will be unforgettable. The TX Hub , not just a theatre. A movement.
This is not a visit. It’s an arrival.
