Although the prolific playwriter is not at this years festival, Athol Fugard still seems to be making waves. From plays such as Sizwe Banzi is Dead to more recent success in the form of an Oscar-winning performance by Tsotsi, Athol Fugard is one of South Africa's most famous and loved writers. CueTV caught up with his close friends, John Kani who is the lead actor and co-writer in Sizwe Banzi is Dead and Festival Chairperson Mannie Manim to find out a little more about who Athol Fugard really is.

  • Rumor had it that Athol was a drunk and enjoyed going to wild parties. He was against the theory of having a chaperone while going on a date which caused him to be sent off to the indian army and serve in the war against Britain. The British took him in due to seeing a member of the opposition not being a seek and forced him to write the play Master Harold and the boys which deals about Britain (Master Harold) trying to put an end to the indians who join the gay parade.
