- Summary:
- In this one-man performance, filmed on the small stage of an intimate club, a member of [Mbongeni?] Ngema's troupe (possibly Ngema himself) tells about growing up in the 'townships' of apartheid South Africa, when the radio was his link to the greater world, and his source of hope for the future.
