Biography

Dlamini est né dans les ghettos de Johannesburg en Afrique du Sud, plus précisément dans un des plus rudes et notoires : Zola (d'où son pseudonyme). Son frère, sa sœur et lui ont été abandonnés par leur père dans leur jeunesse.

Son cousin, Dumisani Dlamini lui permet de devenir célèbre en jouant le rôle de Papa Action, un gangster, dans Yizo Yizo 2, une série télévisée, ce qui lui permit de sortir un album de Kwaito (une forme de house) et de recevoir quatre South African Music Awards, dont celui d'artiste de l'année, et trois Metro FM Awards.

En 2005, il joue dans le film Mon nom est Tsotsi et compose la bande originale.

Because his mother is dying of a terminal disease, David (Benny Moshe) runs away from an abusive father and lives with other homeless children in a series of large concrete construction pipes.

After getting involved in a murder committed by Butcher during a mugging, Tsotsi and Boston get into a fight which leaves Boston badly injured.

The story is based on real events and real people and is set in the mid-1950s freehold township of Sophiatown, Johannesburg— one of the few areas in South Africa where blacks could own property and drink alcoholic beverages. Drum begins with the central character, sportswriter Henry Nxumalo, reporting on a boxing match with Nelson Mandela. Nxumalo leaves his wife Florence at home while going out into his community's night life and has an affair with a female singer. He works for Drum magazine, which was "the first black lifestyle magazine in Africa." The magazine was financed by whites and had a multiracial staff; it was popular among the black community. Drum's British editor, Jim Bailey (Jason Flemyng), asks Nxumalo to write on the township crime scene, and Nxumalo, while at first unwilling, finally agrees. While on the job, he encounters Slim (Zola), a gang leader, that he had previously met in illegal township drinking places, and witnesses him kill a man in Sophiatown.
