Forging trying circumstances into a marquee career that includes countless global anthems, a loyal fanbase, tours, awards, and intentionally existing as a voice for the underrepresented, Busiswa’s story is that of African excellence.
The second installment of the “Unbreakable Story” series sees CAN DO! (the consumer facing brand of Nampak Bevcan) partner with Busiswa to tell her story like it has never been told before.
The project will consist of multiple content layers, with the main pillar of content being a 25min documentary that will air exclusively on DSTV’s Channel O, giving fans and the people of South Africa, a closer, more personal and insightful look into the life of a rapidly growing iconic figure in not only our country but across the world.
ARIFF's director Ayanda Sithebe said Africa Rising International Film Festival this year is about inclusion and participation.
