(b.**/**/**** - d.**/**/****). Actor. The single-monikered Zulu actor known as Goba was a valued member of the [[African Film Productions]] stock company during the heyday of South Africa’s silent movies. Not a young man, he was invariably cast as a loyal servant, sometimes required to put his life at risk in order to save his white mistress. Almost nothing else is known about him. His known films are [[A Zulu’s Devotion]] ([[Lorimer Johnston]]/1916), [[De Voortrekkers]] ([[Harold M. Shaw]]/1916), [[A Border Scourge]] ([[Ralph Kimpton]] & [[Joseph Albrecht]]/1917) and [[The Symbol of Sacrifice]] ([[Dick Cruikshanks]]/1918). (FO)
