It’s been just over 30 years since Sarafina! first hit our TV screens and became one of the most iconic apartheid struggle movies ever released. To celebrate the milestone, some of the movie’s cast members, namely Ntombikhona Dlamini, Nandi Ndlovu, and Lindiwe Dlamini, joined Leleti Khumalo and Whoopi Goldberg gathered to watch a screening of the film hosted by movie producer Anant Singh in New York earlier this week.

Photos of the gathering were shared online leaving many South African users wondering why Somizi was not invited to the shindig – of course, they also made a few jokes about his absence.

Many people resorted to joking about Somizi’s absence while others felt bad for the Idols SA judge who has seemingly been left out.
