Taibah International School learners weren't born yet when the” Sarafina movie” was released but excited the audience as they portrayed the timeless story.
Set in the township of Soweto in the late 1970s, Initially "Sarafina!" follows the story of a spirited young girl named Sarafina, brilliantly portrayed by Leleti Khumalo, as she navigates the tumultuous political landscape of apartheid-era South Africa. Inspired by her passionate and courageous teacher, Mary Masombuka (played by Whoopi Goldberg), Sarafina became increasingly involved in the anti-apartheid movement, joining her fellow students in protests and demonstrations against the discriminatory policies of the apartheid government.
Learners at Taibah highly impressed the audience as they depicted the timeless story during their 2024 theatre Production that took place on 29th/March.
"It’s an advocative play emotionally and I like the fact that we’ve presented it in the way it could be presentable to kids and show them that not everything is fair in this world, yes we have this freedom but it didn’t come from above and then given to us it was worked for," said Rania Janat, who played the lead role Sarafina. "To be that character is amazing."
