Thato Ya Modimo (2023)
When her best friend, Neo, passes away tragically, Cindy is forced to step up and help a struggling Libo tackle single parenthood without his beloved wife.

Directed by Athi Petela (Ayeye Stripped, Trapped, Redemption), Thato Ya Modimo is the third Showmax film from Beyond Black Productions, building on the success of both Welcome to the Family and uMakoti Wethu.
