Bheki Makhubu: the story of a jailed editor

The Life of a Swazi student

In 2013, Swaziland’s Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA-Swaziland) hosted two interns from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. The two interns, Phesheya Ian Kunene and Bhekilanga Wakhile Kunene, filmed and edited a short documentary about university life in Swaziland. Phesheya and Bhekilanga interviewed four current students, one former student, a lecturer, and the former minister for labour and social security.

I was working at MISA-Swaziland at the time and oversaw and produced the project, training the interns on interviewing, filming and editing.

The purpose of the film, said Bhekilanga, is to “give a voice to students, to hear their side of the story”. This shortened version of the film, which was launched at Limkokwing University in Swaziland in December 2013, runs for 15 minutes. It was broadcast on Swazi TV on the day of the launch. The full documentary can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/21hLkhV
