Drive Moment - Cynthia Erivo To Play Miriam Makeba In R300m Film The Road Home

Loading player...

Cynthia Erivo is set to portray the legendary Miriam Makeba in a new musical drama titled The Road Home.

Mama Africa wasn’t just a singer—she existed between exile and belonging, a voice that carried both displacement and home in the same breath. While Cynthia’s respect for her legacy is undeniable, the casting reopens a nuanced and necessary conversation.

It raises a lingering question: are South African stories being globally celebrated, or subtly exported? Is this recognition—or a missed opportunity to centre local talent in telling their own histories?
