In a spectacular event befitting its namesake, the KZN Film Commission recently held the inaugural Simon Sabela Lecture, to much fanfare, at the Durban International Convention Centre.
The glitzy affair honoured the life of Simon Mabhunu Sabela. Regarded as the father of film in KwaZulu-Natal, he featured in 34 films and went on to become South Africa’s first black director.
The event formed part of the KZN Film Commission and the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs’ launch of film month. It was preceded by the Simon Mabhunu Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards nominee announcement, which took place earlier in the day.
Renowned entertainers, Mbonegeni Ngema, Duma Ka Ndlovu and Dr Gcina Mhlophe were just a few of the speakers who regaled the audience with tales of Sabela’s influence on the film industry.
Dudu Sabela Mdluli, daughter of the film great, expressed her elation at her father’s memory being kept alive.
