Dumisani Dlamini

Dumisani Dlamini (Zulu: ['ɮamini]; born 23 October 1963) is a South African actor and dancer best known for playing Crocodile on Sarafina! (1992) and Chester on Yizo Yizo. He is the father of American singer and rapper Doja Cat. Quotes Sarafina! was not only an entertainment show, it was a 'struggle' piece of art. It is actually really sad that it is not recognised. We were soldiers on stage, fighting for this country through art. I have taught myself that maybe South Africa doesn't recognise the talent in actors. Because since I began my career I have never received a single award. For all the iconic characters, I never achieved anything. When you are a star in America you can feel that you are a star. To be a star you must have money. In the States they pay actors a lot of money to portray certain characters. They (understand) that the character has to live inside of you (spiritually) and it changes your life forever. So they give you millions. In SA, you are just an actor trying to sustain a living.
