Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that South African comic actor, Leon Schuster, is currently under fire for featuring in a new film, titled, ‘Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones.’ (Read More Here).
Taking to Twitter page, Ster-Kinekor, shared the trailer for ‘Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones’, which will be available in a few cinemas in South Africa and probably worldwide in 2022.
After the trailer began to go viral on social media, a few South Africans weren’t pleased. They began to accuse Leon Schuster of being a white man, who is a racist.
Another set of South Africans are saying that Leon Schuster benefitted or became famous through mocking Black people’s feature, which is “the black face.”
Lastly, another set of South Africans are saying that Leon Schuster has never been funny.
‘Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones’ is the continuation of “Mr Bones”, but in ‘Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones,’ Mr. Bones has a son, Alfred “Shorty” Ntombela, whom he wanted to be like him.
Will Alfred “Shorty” Ntombela be like his father? Find out in 2022. Ster-Kinekor wrote: “The new trailer for ‘Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones’, has just released featuring the beloved comedy pair Leon Schuster and Alfred “Shorty” Ntombela.
“Mr. Bones 3 will be on the Ster-Kinekor big SKreen from 15 April 2022.

gonna take this moment to remind everyone that leon schuster profited off black face and instead of apologising said he was sorry he could not make another black face movie
and also he is just not funny.

Black people say that Leon Schuster “unites” us as a nation. Problem is that you think some races are laughing with you but they are laughing at you. It reinforces negative stereotypes about black people. Take black stereotypes and culture out of his movies and where’s the humor?
