Sam Ngakane

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
When retired cop Harry Curtin (Wayne Crawford - Jake Speed) arrives in Africa, he thinks he's been hired to bodyguard someone big and important. But city slicker Harry soon discovers his new client is even bigger than he thought. It's a 2,000 pound black rhinoceros that is threatened by dangerous poachers. Harry's first reaction is to quit and go home, but something about the hauntingly magical African bush beckons him to stay and do the right thing. Encouraged by Father Bob, a local missionary, (William Katt - Greatest American Hero) and a determined conservationist (former Miss South Africa Diana Tilden Davis) to use his detective skills, Harry teams up with a local wise man and a reserve full of majestic animals to catch the poachers and create a little magic of their own. U'BEJANI is a whimsical adventure that promotes positive thinking, believing in oneself and the love of nature. Entertainment for the entire family.
