@ELO_Zar Drops The Visual Anthem #Bophelo Featuring @KommandaObbs

Off the back of a global #BlackLivesMatter movement and the recent gender-based violence that has gripped the country this week, Elo Zar’s "Bophelo" music video featuring Kommanda Obbs is the visual anthem the country needs. Amidst injustice and the financial hardships spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, the song’s tag line, “Bophelo ha bo easy - Life is hard” has been an appropriate one, however, the Bophelo music video shows that we are stronger than our circumstances and have a resilient fighting power within us.

Using boxing Gogos to depict not only our resilience as a country but the resilience of Black women, Elo Zar’s "Bophelo" music video if a must watch. Having premiered exclusively on Trace Africa yesterday, the Bophelo music video is now live on YouTube.

Shot just before the lockdown, the "Bophelo" music video was directed by multi award-winning director, Tebogo Malope, who is the director of Netflix’s first African original series, Queen Sono, and holds a Cannes Lion Gold, 2 X SAFTAs and a Lories Grand Prix to his name just to highlight a few.
