Things you may not know about the legendary South African actor John Kani, who play’s T’challa’s Father/King T’chaka in Black Panther.

He lost his left eye to a beating he received from Apartheid Police and wears a glass prosthetic eye.

in the mid 1980′s, he performed in a play called “Miss Julie in Cape Town” Half of the audience walked out of the production when he kissed a white woman on stage – an act that resulted in death threats and an assassination attempt, in which he was stabbed 11 times.

in 1985, he lost his brother who was killed whilst reading a poem at a funeral when Apartheid police started shooting up at the mourners.

all of this happened in a minority ruled white supremacist country formed ON land where his people where the natives and the majority, apartheid “ended” in 1994.

“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.”

— Johnny Cash
