Great for you to join us on the Impendulo page. Thank you for taking this journey with me into making this film. For a treat I have decided to share with you a bit of information about the characters in the film.
Every week I will post character descriptions, pictures and video clips of some the characters in the film. This week I’ll introduce you to Mpendulo and his fantasy of a life as a taxi conductor.
MPENDULO
Mpendulo is a 10 year old boy from Lower Molweni. The rural area that he is from has suddenly lost its coolness and the city is the ‘in thing’ with the young boys of the village – of course that is where the money is and who wants to dress in tattered clothes when you can make good money in the city and wear expensive brand name clothing.
Mpendulo our hero is drawn into this fantasy that is riddled with true lies. What will become of his fantasy? Will he find gold at the end of the rainbow?
Comment of the week
Seeing street kids on the street has suddenly become a norm. This is a universal challenge.
