Participating Schools: St Benedict’s College in collaboration with Holy Rosary School for Girls and Assumption Convent School.

Love, Crime and Johannesburg by Malcolm Purkey is a high - energy, razor - sharp musical set in the beating heart of Jozi.

When struggle poet Jimmy "Long Legs" Mangane is accused of a daring bank robbery, secrets , loyalties, and old friendships explode into chaos.

Packed with infectious African jazz rhythms and biting humour, the show captures the swagger and soul of the City of Gold.

Larger-than-life characters - gangsters, lovers, bankers and dreamers - collider in a whirlwind of love, ambition and betrayal.

Both hilarious and deeply moving, it holds up a mirror to the promises and pitfalls of a new South Africa.

Don't miss this bold, brilliant celebration of Johannesburg in all its grit, glamour and glory.

The production will be performed on Tuesday 17 March, Wednesday 18 March, Thursday 19 March and Saturday 21 March 2026. All performances will start at 19:00 in the St Benedict’s College School Hall .
