Zuku is very excited to have Leleti Khumalo as the official guest and be part of this milestone in the evolution of the film industry. Khumalo was a force to be reckoned with as a black South African actress during apartheid era and has remained a powerhouse and Icon in the film and television industry, says Zuku TV director Mandy Roger. ZIFF will be showing the film Sarafina as part of their line up in recognition of the South African film industry and celebrate Africa’s talents in film.
