Poor Sizwe has to bear all the sufferings and with no adequate food or water. The father and friend both show no mercy and compassion for the young lad who, it seems, is mentally-retarded. Luckily, for Sizwe, a good friend in the person of Mandla came along and helped him. The story is quite simple to begin with but it shows us the good and bad side of human nature; the good side manifested by Mandla and the bad side by Sizwe's father and friend.  Commendable performances by the actors especially by the actor who portrayed Sizwe, this seems to be a popular African actor as I've noted that he also stars in some other Retro African films.
