“I love storytelling. With all my heart. May I ask each and every one that is following me, who is not a robot, to support me. I am nothing without each and every one. I want to tell the most intense stories ever. I am tired of hearing South Africans saying as filmmakers ...
We are failing them. Truth is securing good funding to tell amazing stories is soooo hard…. I am going to put my head on the block because I am super passionate about South Africans and truly good Africans. WE ARE KINGS. Please support me. My dreams are too big….
Hence, they will take time… I am asking that when it all happens, please support me. Please hold my hand. I respect your intelligence. From Johhanesburg to Cairo. My name is Zolani Phakade,” he pleaded.
