They instantly became global stars and the nation’s pride.
The multi-award winning actress, has joined mourners, who are currently paying tribute to Presley. Just like everyone, she is in shock, and in deep grief.

The film was also nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, becoming the first South African film and first African film not made in French to win the former. In 2009, Tsotsi was unofficially remade in Tamil as Yogi.
