Joburg City Theatres is deeply saddened by the passing of Khosi Adeoje (Ndesi), the Marketing Manager at Soweto Theatre, who passed away on Monday 31st March.

Khosi joined Soweto Theatre in 2019 and played a key role in growing our presence and championing the stories of Soweto through the arts. Her warmth and drive made a lasting impact on everyone she worked with.

Her passion for storytelling shone through in every project she led – most notably the Celebration of 12 Years in Storytelling, where she helped launch the Soweto Theatre Wall of Fame to honour local legends. She will always be remembered for her tireless work, boundless enthusiasm and enduring passion.

James Ngcobo, Artistic Director at Joburg City Theatres, shared: “Khosi was the face of Soweto Theatre to many. She was a connector, a cultural advocate and a true force behind the scenes. Her dedication, energy, and insight helped shape our story. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and brought a sense of gravitas to her position at the Theatre. Her passing leaves a huge gap in our team and hearts.”

A memorial service will be held at Soweto Theatre on Thursday, 3 April 2025, at 13:00 to honour her legacy.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Rest in peace.
