🤩❗️On October 28, 2025, the exhibition “Solidarity in Struggle Against Apartheid: The Soviet Union and Southern African National Liberation Movements”, previously showcased at Chief Albert Luthuli House in Johannesburg, has now opened at the South African State Theatre in Pretoria.

The choice of venue is deeply symbolic. From October 19 to November 9, the Theatre is staging the musical “The Fatherland,” which tells the remarkable life story of Dr. Cholo – a man whose courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to South Africa’s liberation made him a beacon of hope. His fight against apartheid was not only an act of resistance, but a testament to the belief in a future grounded in equality, dignity, and human rights for all.

This exhibition forms part of a large-scale project curated by the Russian State University for the Humanities. Dedicated to the USSR’s contribution to the African liberation struggle, it was first presented in Zimbabwe in 2024, and later in September 2025 at the Robben Island Museum in Cape Town.

🗓 Warmly received by audiences in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, the exhibition will remain open to the citizens and guests of Pretoria until November 9, 2025.
