Armand Aucamp, Casper de Vries, Pieter Dirk-Uys, and Rian van Heerden talk about the word "moffie"
The director of the war film, 'Moffie', asked a few famous gay men to talk about their experiences with the word "moffie".
The film 'Moffie' tells the story of a young man in the military who battles to survive compulsory service in apartheid South Africa.
While fighting battles within the military to survive, the young man also has to confront toxic masculinity and come to terms with his sexual orientation.
“Moffie” is a uniquely South African word that has been used to marginalise and shame people for many years.
