News Rap: THE LAST HOPE



A FORTITUDE JOURNEY TO MANOEUVRE

Based on true story: Fearless Walk Fashion Modeling and Casting Agency in collaboration with Motheo Production brings you a short film of Xenophobic Attacks in South Africa.


It was in April 2008 when the world witnessed a large scale of Xenophobic Attacks in townships of Johannesburg. The streets of Gauteng province were swallowed by riots and death. It proceeded till today. Whiles, Motheo Production together with Fearless Walk Fashion Modeling and Casting Agency hosted auditions on Saturday 24, looking for actors who can relive Hlozukwazi's journey.

Hlokukwazi is the leading role in the film of Murambastving, meaning xenophobia events in South Africa. She's a Zimbabwean lady and teacher who comes to South Africa for a better life. Only to find the similar conditions she ran away from, and despite challenges met along the way she remained hopeful 'trying to fight despair and agony'.
Future Actors and Actresses
The film is age restricted movie because it's content of violence, nudity and language. People from the age of 18-30 were recommended to audition for the movie. The shooting will be in middle of February, and its in subtitle too. A group of youthful and ambitious people auditioned for different roles, but few will be chosen to show case their talent in acting.

In 2010, Zanu-PF and Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe had orchestrated operation-clean up against opposition party members and supporters. People were chased away, bitten and arrested. Due to devious actions and civil criminal acts brought upon Zimbabwe people, many of them flee to South Africa.

In hope for a better future things got worse compared to where she came from. Hlokukwazi and her fellow country men were violated, de-humanized, called names, burnt to death and murdered by South African citizens. The shocking revelation and mob violence attacks against foreigners.

Hatred mounted towards our fellow African people. Some stayed in hope for a change, whereas others fled to neighbouring communities and abroad as well. Isolation is felt and struggle to make ends meet in a foreign country deepens...trials and tribulations, havoc and love can all this be her only salvation? '

Survival is what we fight for!

Scenarios and characters: Villains, vicious, intolerant, rude, humble, obnoxious, noxious, arrogant, glitches, schemes, criminal elements, mismanagement,justice prevalence and heroes! I don't want to reveal much, stay tuned to be captivated spiritually and emotionally.

ANFIELD CAREER ENDS...


"You'll never walk Alone"- Liverpool's slogan.

It's has been confirmed: Steven Gerrard to leave the club at the end of the 2014-2015 season. Captain 'loyalty' will walk alone abroad for new greener pasture. Gerrard is expected to join LA Galaxy amid interest from other MLS clubs.- writes David Anderson of Mirror Sports.

He will be offered 20million to join booming MLS in America. The 34 year-old made his debut for the Reds in November 1998, and has never looked back since then.

On Friday 2, Gerrard issued a statement on his decision to leave Liverpool Football Club. It reads as follows:
Steven Gerrard

"This has been the toughest decision of my life and one which both me and my family have agonized over for a good deal of time.

"I am making the announcement now so that the manager and the team are not distracted by stories or speculation about my future.

"Liverpool Football Club has been such a huge part of our lives for so long and saying goodbye is going to be difficult, but I feel it's something that's in the best interest of all involved, including my family and the club itself.

"I'm going to carry on playing and although I can't confirm at this stage where that will be, I can say it will be somewhere that means I won't be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool-that is something I could never contemplate.

Gerrard made 695 appearance and scored 180 goals to date since joining the club's youth system aged eight. In 2001, he made his international debut for the England National Football team.
