Dayuum! One of my all time best movies!
I can still remember the goosebumps I had while watching the movie, even thinking about it now still gives me goosebumps!
I need to find that movie so that I can watch over and over.

my elder sister loves that movie so much, she talks a lot about it then. (South Africa and songs for Freedom are like 5 & 6.......) i cant forget Brenda, lucky Dube, Chaka-Chaka and Miriam Makeba

I love South African music, their songs, rhythm, beat and voice is indescribable. It always has this depth you can feel it. Lucky Dube is my most favorite of the artists. I also like Hugh Masekela, Brenda Fassie, her voice is out of this world, Jeff Maluleke, the Gospel group -Joyous Celebration, Soweto Mass Choir etc. They're just awesome. Oh God! I miss one gospel on Dstv.

A few times every generation, an actor or actress emerges whose performances can change the way the public thinks about an issue.
Leleti Khumalo is such an artist. She captured our hearts as children in the 1988 film ‘Sarafina’. Although she has managed to live life away from the limelight, here are a few facts that we managed to collect about this brilliant star.

1. When Leleti auditioned for the role of ‘Sarafina’ in 1987 , she was only 15 years and blew everyone away with her perfomance

2. Shortly after the movie was done, Leleti got married to the very director Mbongeni Ngema, who we see from the film hitting on her on countless occasions.

3. Leleti who is now divorced from Ngema has shown regret over and over , calling the marriage a disgusting experience, and expressing remorse for having married an already married man.

4. In 1993, she released her first album named Leleti and The Sarafina and dedicated it to the late Mohammed Ali

5. She starred in major movies after that, Hotel Rwanda and Yesterday

6. Leleti is now married to a business man, Skhuthazo, he is two years her junior and together they have twins, totalling to three children for Leleti one from ex husband Mbongeni

Wao... I must comment... Even though... I belong to the #NCommentsassociation

I can't count how many times I watched this movie while growing up....
I remember arguing with my grand Ma that it wasa movie and not reality captured on hidden camera.. Cos she was crying for Sarafina and Miss Masinbuka, the teacher.
*ijelela "girl you have no respect, lol...
... I loved all the choreographies and the songs... Awesome....

*stops typing... *I talk too much.. That's why I don't like commenting.... Sarafina you gat... Me

I abused that film when VCR machine was still available. I also remember the movie called THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY from that part of the world too.

i was crying then when i watched this movie. I had nightmares and was moody all day. It fired me up to read more about the struggle for blacks from colonialism and neocolonialism

Their songs wakes up that spirit in you. It bores into your soul and makes you rise up against oppression
