Congratulations to Roger Ross Williams, Prudence Mabhena and Marvelous Mbulo. All three were guests on this month's Ouch! Talk Show. But more importantly than that, last night they won an Oscar.

With the glitzy annual movie award show looming, we spoke to the three when their film, , was 'merely' a nomination. Now they've gone home with the academy award for Best Documentary Short, 2010.

On the talk show, Roger tells us how he came across the band Liyana featuring disabled young adults from the King George IV school in Bulawayo. Prudence, the lead singer, tells us a little about what it's like to be disabled in Zimbabwe and how her family did not accept her disability leading to a very harsh upbringing. She joined us on a very crackly line from the school with her fellow band member Marvelous and were able to give us a blast of one of their songs down the phone.
