With regards to accessibility, the CEO reported that they had looked at the immediate community of Hillbrow and Berea - an area that is highly inhabited by a large number of foreign nationals and realized that they would lose an opportunity in other areas if they focused only nationally. Against this background and particularly in the wake of the xenophobic outbreak, the CEO reported that they had organized a plenary around the time of the 2010 World Cup and they are holding monthly meetings with organizations to promote social cohesion. In addition, they had also issued invitations to crches in the area to attend the theatre shows as part of an outreach programme. Mr Maphela concluded by indicating that the Playhouse is fostering international relations with five countries within the continent with an understanding of creating relations with theatres in those countries. He mentioned such countries as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique. He brought it to the attention of members that theatres in those countries were not funded by Government and the definition of Performing Arts in those countries differred from the definition used in South Africa.
