BEYONCE SET TO WRITE AND STAR AS SOUTH AFRICA'S MOST TRAGIC FIGURE, SAARTJLE BAARTMAN

Music royalty, Beyonce is set to write and star as South Africa's most tragic figure, Saartjle Baartman  who was taken as a slave 200 years ago  from 'bush men' tribe and was displayed as a freak show due to her unusually big buttocks.
Beyonce has however been accused of arrogance by Jean Burgess, the Chief of Baartman's indigenous tribe who told Times live,
"She lacks the basic human dignity to be worthy of writing Sarah's story let alone playing the part".
Another Chief also raised alarm that Beyonce has no right to tell one of the worst shames of British colonial history.

UPDATE:Beyonce says while it is a beautiful story to tell, she is not writing or starring in the movie.
