Tsotsi's Presley Chweneyagae to Taiwan!

We're very excited that Angie was able to confirm Presley Chweneyagae, who made South Africa so proud with his performance in our Academy Award winning film Tsotsi, to speak at a Pick n' Pay conference in Phuket, Taiwan on 06 September.

We went out and bought the Tsotsi DVD to celebrate this gig, and I am glad I did - its definitely a DVD that every South African should have in their personal collection. Although the reality of it is scary and it makes the ladies scream with fright, Presleys performance is unbelievable! The way he is able to transform his character from a blood-thirsty township gangster, to a softer character who tries to turn his life around.

Not many white South Africans understand what it must be like to live the life portrayed by Tsotsi in the film, and I found it an eye-opener. Well done to Gavin Hood the Director too, the photography is very special, and the film flows so well.

Presley will be speaking to the Pick n' Pay conference delegates in Phuket as a South African who has made an impact on the international stage.

Here is the trailer to Tsotsi - go out and get it!
