This November, men everywhere have permission to cheat on their barbers as The Market Theatre proudly presents Barber Shop Chronicles, making its long-awaited African premiere. This acclaimed global hit takes over the John Kani Theatre from 6 – 30 November 2025.
Set across six barbershops — in Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos, Accra, and London — the play is a vibrant exploration of masculinity, vulnerability, and connection. Audiences are immersed in spaces where men gather for more than just a haircut — for conversation, laughter, debate, and healing. The play redefines the barbershop as a space where transformation happens — inside and out. Beneath the buzzing clippers and sharp fades lies community, truth, and brotherhood.
Barber Shop Chronicles tickets are available through Webtickets.

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.
Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
