"Sizwe Banzi is Dead" at BAM

Friday, April 11, 2008

In 1972, Tony Award-winning South African actors John Kani and Winston Nishona put on the play “Sizwe Banzi is Dead” in Cape Town in defiance of the rules of apartheid. Now they’re reprising their roles at BAM. “Sizwe Banzi is Dead” is at BAM through April 19th.

    "Sizwe Banzi is Dead" made Americans aware of the disgraceful racism of South African. Thank you, Lenny, for having these wonderfully talented gentlemen on your show.
