According to Khoza the screening of this particular movie is a way to let in aspiring actors and actresses in the region who do not have the privileges of advancing their careers due to limited resources, into this space. The screening is expected to be attended by the Executive Mayor of Eshowe – Councilor TB Zulu on the day.
“Having been flighted, and not all accessible to everyone, I found this a great opportunity to expose these young women and men into what Induku is about, experience and feel it while we entertain them at the same time.”
“This is an opportunity to present this game of stick fighting, which these kids may have not really been exposed to. They may know about it, they may have seen it, but not necessarily understand the significance thereof. It is a unifying sport in all respects, it is a way of escaping the reality of what we have to deal with on a day-to-day lifestyle. As a person dealing with mental health issues, it is time that we revert to our roots and empower the youngsters to have alternatives of dealing with the harsh realities of this world, and the purpose of this screening is to get them to engage and hopefully gain some insight into how to deal with the emotional imbalances that they may have,” said the Sonic Historian.
“If someone would have asked me if I’d ever see myself acting, I would probably have laughed. Music has always been my passion, and I got an opportunity to grasp my true calling. I have a curious mind, and what I learn I want to share. I am excited at how my career in the creative industry has evolved and continues to grow. It is a spiritual journey. By appearing on screens, be it as an actor, singer, performer, or narrator at least one person gets some form of healing. That is what drives me to work even harder!”
As part of the screening programme, the patrons will be treated to some serenading sounds of the Afrikan Heritage Ensemble, Godla, Sanonji and Khoza himself.
