Sterring (2024)
Inspired by 90s action movies, Ramz dreams of becoming a hero who can take down bullies like Shaka. His dream turns into reality when he accidentally saves a superstar actress from a mugging, earning him the reputation of a real-life Sterring. His newfound fame puts him in the crosshairs of Bra Tony, a powerful businessman and underground drug kingpin whose empire starts crumbling because of Ramz’s growing influence.
SAFTA nominee Mathews Rantsoma (Scandal!, Adulting S3) stars as Ramz, opposite Sabelo Majola (Generations: The Legacy) as the menacing Shaka and Siphiwe Nkosi (Mbobozehluzo Msibi in Isibaya) as the ruthless Bra Tony.
Sterring is produced and directed by Africa Movie Academy Awards nominee Kgosana Monchusi (Four Walls, A Safe Bet, The Real Housewives of Cape Town).
