The New Dark Age

16 August, 2010 — One Big Nation

Aura Msimang is an old friend of mine from my years living in NYC. A singer, she moved back to SA some years ago. This video is about the neighbourhood I lived in, Yeoville, a few minutes from the centre of Jozi and the changes it has gone through.

As quiet as it is kept, Aura Msimang is a legend in our midst. To the Yeoville community where she lives, to the artistic fraternity, the Rastas and the local street kids, she is known endearingly as M’Aura. Excerpt from Mam Aura Msimang, A Legend In Our Midst (by Nhlanhla Hlongwane) This documentary highlights the diversity and ingenuity of the Johannesburg district called Yeoville originally produced for SABC 3 by handheld films (directed by Gillian Schutte)
