Egoli ("city of gold", also eGoli, the Sotho name for Johannesburg) is a play by South African playwright Matsemela Manaka that focuses on the condition of migrant mine workers in South Africa.[1] In the play he exposes stereotypes and presents the Black man as economically exploited. According to critic Keyan Tomaselli, Egoli is not to be interpreted as entertainment; rather, it exposes the dominance racist ideology, which is uncomfortable for both the dominant and the dominated because it reveals its inconsistencies and criticizes its motivations.[2]
