Khaki Fever and more sexy Afrikaans movies and series

The upcoming Showmax Original Khaki Fever has got everyone hot under the collar - and that’s before it’s even launched on Showmax! In the raunchy comedy, a group of game rangers set up a challenge to see who can hook up with the most tourists during a season.

The prize? The title of being the King of Khaki, as well as the losers’ collective tips.

The challenge? Outsmarting Anel, the conservative lodge manager, who has made it clear that anyone caught fraternising with guests will be fired on the spot.

It stars Christopher Jaftha, alongside Anja Taljaard and Trix Vivier (both Juffrou X), Liam Bosman (Een Keer Om Die Son), and Ilse Klink (Nêrens, Noord-Kaap). Also look out for singer Abel Knobel, Francois Jacobs (aka Kaalgat Karel) and Sean Brebnor (Getroud Met Rugby) as rangers.
