The drama unfolding in Zimbabwe has the world’s rapt attention, as it should. For one, the 93-year-old despot, Robert Mugabe, just got unseated from his throne recently, through a bloodless coup.

Let's not forget that Soweto gospel choir/ Ladysmith black mabazo sound track though.. Backing the up the amazingly talented Elle Goulding of course (it is still an African film!)
