- Vindicating Capital: Heroes and Villains in A Lion’s Trail Håvard Ovesen Adam Haupt Lengua y Literatura This paper analyses François Verster’s A Lion’s Trail (2002), a documentary about the late musician Solomon Linda and his hit song, Mbube. Linda died a pauper, despite the fact that his composition became one of the most commercially successful songs in the history of popular music. Considering the potentially substantial financial benefits due to Solomon Linda’s daughters as heirs to his intellectual property rights, the story of Mbube can easily be read as having a happy, if somewhat bittersweet, ending. This ending is remarkably similar to the grand narrative of the new and democratic South Africa; in the end, justice was served, although not everybody was around to enjoy it. Such readings, however, obscure certain aspects of the new South African realities.
