When the competing demands of home and team cause clashes in his life, Mondli realises what true leadership really is.
Saturday, 4 July, 16:30 – Shaolin Soccer. In this hysterical, eye-popping comedy, a team of misfits take their best shot at winning a championship by mixing martial arts with soccer. Using unorthodox gameplay, they face the dreaded Team Evil in the ultimate battle for the title.
