Queen Diva

When Lindiwe Ringane challenged the modelling establishment by attempting to register for a workshop for the Miss South Africa pageant, she rocketed to national infamy. No woman, who was not ‘born a woman’, had ever before had the audacity to try.

In this raw and encompassing documentary, Lindiwe discusses her past, her future, her thoughts on being Zulu, and adds much to the on-going debate around integrating transgender reality into South Africa’s religious and traditional beliefs. Contemplating her gender, and the next edical procedure in her journey to womanhood, brave and beautiful Ringane is fast emerging as an (unofficial) spokesperson for the South African transgender community.
