John Kani shows no signs of slowing downActor, director and playwright John Kani shows no signs of slowing down as he leaps into multiple projectsAt 75 years old, theatre veteran Dr John Kani’s energy does not waver – he’s finishing up a Walt Disney movie, hitting the red carpet with The Black Panther team and rehearsing his new play. Kani and the mother of his seven children, Mandi, will walk the red carpet alongside the likes of Beyoncé, who voices Nala, and John Oliver, who gives Zazu his voice. That is if he chooses to go, for Kani is a busy man and his attention leaps from project to project.
