Civil upraising in the country.
n the climactic scene of what has been the most popular play showing in Maputo, the citizens of a crime-ridden suburb, fed-up by police indifference, take matters into their own hands. They hang a tire from the neck of a notorious neighborhood criminal, pour gasoline on his head, and burn him alive. At a sold-out performance last week in the Mozambican capital, the audience roared its approval.
"T3" ended its five-month run at the "Teatro Gungu" at the weekend, having pulled in some 50,000 theatergoers. The play owes its success to its ripped-from-the-headlines theme: public lynchings swept through the outer suburbs of Maputo in 2006 and early this year.
