Four young men from Soweto – Lerato Lichaba, Simangaliso Dlamini, Tubatsi Moloi and Xolani Mtshali – recently premiered their documentary.
They are a part of the music band Urban Village and they celebrate the Soweto lifestyle through their music.
Hosted at eDikeni, an ubuntu-centric restaurant tucked away in Africa’s commercial heart, Sandton, Johannesburg, the “Urban Village - The Documentary” premiere saw creatives, the media and the general public, in attendance.
Directed by Vladimir Cagnolari, the film invites viewers to catch a glimpse into the lives of the band, what it was like growing up in the township and how apartheid squeezed everyone together.
