South African actress (born 1947)

Sandra Prinsloo (born 15 September 1947), also known as Sandra Prinzlow, is a South African actress best known internationally for her role as Kate Thompson in the 1980 film The Gods Must Be Crazy. Prinsloo has also appeared in numerous South African television, film, and stage productions.

Early life and career

Prinsloo has stated that she never expected to become an actress.

"I was a ballet dancer from a very early age and I remember that I occasionally ushered at the Breytenbach Theatre in Pretoria when I was in high school. That’s the first time I came into contact with professional stage acting, but I never thought I’d be an actress . . . . I think I was far too shy in those days to ever think I could be an actress. So it wasn’t like I had this great big burning passion to become an actress, not at all. I preferred an academic life, in a way. When I went to university, I thought that was going to be what I was going to do".

Prinsloo matriculated from the Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool and then completed her B.A. honours in drama at the University of Pretoria. Soon after, she became a member of the Performing Arts Council Transvaal acting company. "One night we were performing and it was as if something absolutely magical happened. It was as if a golden net was cast down. Everything was magical that evening and everybody felt it in the cast ... It was something enchanting that happens in the exchange of the energy between the audience and the actors".

Prinsloo has said that after that night, she realised that acting was her calling.

Film career

In addition to her well-known role in The Gods Must Be Crazy, Prinsloo has had major roles in Target of an Assassin (1979), Quest for Love (1988), Die Prins van Pretoria (1992), Soweto Green (1995), 'n Paw Paw Vir My Darling (2015), Twee Grade van Moord (2016).

John Kani (1943-) is a renowned actor, director, playwright and theatre administrator.

Biography

Born Bonisile John Kani in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth on 30 August 1943. One source gives his date of birth as 30 November 1942. He completed his high school education at Newell High School, where he and his friend Winston Ntshona performed in numerous school plays.

On finishing high school he began working for working the Ford Motor Company, while continuing to be engaged in theatre, as a member of various drama groups in the New Brighton area, performing in schools and community halls. In 1965 he became a member of the Serpent Players drama group and met Athol Fugard, and by 1973 Kani had become a full-time professional actor with a growing reputation. From there he went on to become not only one of the most celebrated actors in South Africa, but also a successful playwright, director and prominent and influential arts manager.

His son Atandwa Kani also became an actor.

Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance

He worked with Athol Fugard and Winston Ntshona on plays such as The Terrorists and The Coat (1966). Later came Sizwe Bansi is Dead (1972) and The Island (1973) at The Space. The group would create some of the more significant early protest theatre in the country, plays such as The Terrorists and The Coat (1966), a process that led to the local and international success of plays such as Sizwe Bansi is Dead (1972) and The Island (1973).

As actor

This success became the launching pad for an illustrious career as an actor for Kani, making him a much sought after leading actor in the 1980s and further, often participating in highly controversial anti-apartheid work such as Master Harold and the boys (Fugard, Market Theatre, 1983), the localized version of Miss Julie (1986), My Children!, My Africa! (1989) and Janet Suzman's fine Othello at the Market Theatre in 1987.
