SayPro Grade R – 12 at MABOPANE EENHEID X Area

SayPro Working with Bandile allowed her to finally confront her past. By creating a safe and trusting space in drama therapy, Bandile was able to help her start working through the inadequacy and shame she felt through role-play. In role-play, she expressed the desire to be a superhero that protected women and children from abuse in Diepsloot.  Bandile was delighted by her request to play a superhero as it demonstrated her desire to overcome her feelings of inadequacy by reclaiming her agency. It also showed that even in their short time (5 sessions) together, Tshepiso was already beginning to make a profound transformation.  He was assured of this when he asked her, “As this superhero, what would you tell the women of Diepsloot?”  She simply responded, “You will always find someone to trust your story.”
