Kalushi is a 2016 South African film about Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu, a nineteen-year-old hawker from the streets of Mamelodi, a township outside Pretoria in South Africa.
En route to their mission, his friend and comrade, Mondy, loses control and shoots two innocent people on Goch Street in Johannesburg.
Mondy is severely beaten and tortured; Kalushi is forced to stand trial under the common purpose doctrine.
The state seeks the highest punishment from the court, death by hanging.
His sacrifice immortalises him into a hero of the struggle and a national icon of the youth joining Umkhonto we Sizwe.
