Pheletso (2025)
Mpho Sibeko (Blood & Water, Gauteng Maboneng) stars as KB, a charming, ambitious young man who seems to have it all – until one wild night lands him in hospital with almost no recollection of how he ended up there.
Kay Bikitsha (Nozuko in Gqeberha: The Empire) co-stars as Detective Grace, opposite the likes of Zazi Kunene (Generations: The Legacy), Sekoati Tsubane (Kabelo on 7de Laan) and SAFTA Best Actor nominee Nkosinathi Emanuel Gweva (Thina Sobabili, Vaya).
Part of Showmax’s first-time directors slate in partnership with the Joburg Film Festival, Pheletso is helmed by Zack Mtombeni and produced by multi-award winners Urban Brew.
