I wonder where Loretta is today
@Cyanideism4 жыл бұрын
Yeah I had the same question, wouldn't even know where to start trying to find her. Did she finish school? Where did she go from there? What of the little opportunities were available to her? Would be interesting to talk to her now in retrospect.

She probably worked as a maid later on.

Interesting how Apartheid is glossed over with almost casual disregard for the iniquity it was. Makes the situation seem like this was some sort of Bantu Utopia.

10:08 The lady claims that the dancing is of rejoicing but, loosely translated the girls are singing "These people are disrespectful. They do not love us. We will beat them".Having to sing and be paraded... We expressed our struggles through song.😢

This is a propaganda film, not a news story and in the first minute is a huge misconception about why girls apparently work harder than boys. It's simply not true that "girls are not as important as boys", abantu don't have that conception in our culture. Loretta "working hard" is ingqeqesho, not just randomly deployed labour for girls.

At that time in South Africa even white kids went to school bare feet during the summer, that was the way of life. In fact it was a challenge amongst boys to see who can resist the cold the longest before wearing shoes during the winter
