The Adventures of Supermama
Award-winning SA legend Desmond Dube (The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, Hotel Rwanda) and SAFTA winner Nomsa Buthelezi (Lockdown, Isibaya) star in The Adventures of Supermama, a hilarious South African family film about Doris Ratabane (Buthelezi), a lady with oodles of can-do attitude, and a limited amount of patience.
Doris has had enough of crime… and the empty promises of the Police Commissioner. Then she meets a mysterious kung fu master and decides to take matters into her own hands, causing all sorts of problems for those around her.
