June 1963 - Jim Comes To Jo'burg - Far from his
June 1963 - Jim Comes To Jo'burg - Far from his parents and his friends, this young man feels bewildered as he sits by himself and plays sad tunes of his homeland. From the hills and kraals all over Africa, young tribemen pour into Johannesburg by their thousands to make their dreams come true. Back in the villages, they dream of working on the mines and saving enough money to buy a wife or some cattle. But they are brought back to reality soon after stepping on to the station.
