Lion King Producer Spurns Award Over "Racism"

The South African producer of the box office hit musical "The Lion King" said Tuesday he had rejected a domestic theatre award as his black peers had been snubbed by the judges.

"I felt strongly that nominations for the award was not representative of the social and moral fibre of South Africa and the African continent," Lebo Morake told AFP, a day after storming off stage at the Naledi Theatre Awards in Pretoria.

Aw, come on, man...YOU won an award!
