The hauntingly beautiful song "Abahlali baseMjondolo" about the heartbreaking lives of South Africa's shack dwellers, performed by the isicathamiya choir group Dlamini King Brothers. The song appears in the upcoming documentary film Dear Mandela.
The Dlamini King Brothers lived at the Kennedy Road informal settlement in Durban and have just released their debut album titled Hlis’uMoya.
According to information provided by Abahlali BaseMjondolo, "The Dlamini King Brothers were among the hundreds of people who had to flee the Kennedy Road settlement when Abahlali baseMjondolo were attacked in September 2009. They remain exiled from the settlement."
