KHWEZI… Say My (Her) Name opens us up into the world of a young girl, KHWEZI who grew up in exile, who loved singing and dancing, and was part of a communal village of aunts and uncles who were fighting an evil system. But this noble cause against apartheid, was also a battle ground upon women’s bodies on different fronts. In her quest to know her father, Judson Kuzwayo, and to preserve his political life’s story; KHWEZI ends up in Forest Town, where she is sexually appropriated by her father’s former best friend, Comrade-Malume Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma. Through the rape trial and tribulations, we as the audience become part of KHWEZI’s court case against one of the most powerful man in South Africa. We see what events lead her and her mother, to walk away from the land whose liberation her father’s sole purpose was to free. We are reminded that she was not just a body or a metaphor. Not just a face or a vagina. Not a battleground or ripples of horror. But that she had a real name:
