Khaki Fever (2025)
In Khaki Fever, 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.
SAFTA-nominated Top Billing presenter Christopher Japhta leads the cast as Daniel, with Francois Jacobs (Kaalgat Karel) stealing the show, and his first Silwerskerm award, as Albie. Liam Bosman and Ilse Klink were also nominated for Khaki Fever at Silwerskerm, with Bosman also up in the TV category for Een Keer Om Die Som and Klink winning for Nerêns, Noord-Kaap. Also look out for 2025 Silwerskerm nominees Anja Taljaard and Trix Vivier (both Juffrou X), singer Abel Knobel, Sean Brebnor (Getroud Met Rugby), Izette Blignaut (Binnelanders) and Juanita de Villiers (Reënboogrant).
Khaki Fever is the second comedy from director Brett Michael Innes, building on the success of Daryn’s Gym, which competed at Rotterdam. Innes has won the SAFTA for Best Film twice, for Sink and Fiela Se Kind, and wrote this year’s Silwerskerm Audience Prize winner My F*k Marelize and produced the Best Film winner, The Heart Is A Muscle.
Khaki Fever is now streaming on Showmax, fresh from its sold-out Silwerskerm premiere.
