Anecdotes
Most of the actors were stage actors from The State Theater. Kagiso Lediga did not not do auditions for their parts he just sat with them, as a group, with a camera, and he asked them to tell him about themselves. They did not know he was casting them mentally. Kagiso Lediga talks about this in most of his interviews about the movie.

Magic

Matwetwe's brilliance is in its energy: the story and a dazzling array of characters keep sprawling (just like the township we see in swooping aerial shots), defying the viewer to guess where all this will end. It shows a gritty, real side of South African life which is often overlooked or taken forgranted. Comparisons will be made to City of God, but this is not a didactic text, it's a hilarious (and occasionally brutal) piece of kinetic cinema.
