Musangwe (2024)
Takalani Masevhe wants to become a champion boxer but keeps trying to shortcut the process. While visiting his ailing grandmother in Venda, he discovers musangwe, a bare-knuckle fist fighting competition. Can he take the title, and the love of Lufuno, from Matome, the reigning champ?
Wiseman Zitha (Entangled) stars as Takalani, with Mulisa Mudau (Muvhango) as Lufuno and Tiisetso Thoka (The Herd) as Matome. Also look out for Phophi Mudau (Skeem Saam), Africa Movie Academy Award nominee Millicent Makhado (Muvhango), Elsie Rasalanavho (Muvhango), and Khathu Litshani, well-known on TikTok as DJ Khathu.
Produced by The Milton Empire (Intlawulo, Mzali Wam), Musangwe is the debut feature film from Lufuno Nekhabambe, who was part of the SAFTA-winning directing team on Gomora and was also nominated twice for his work on Isithembiso.
Musangwe had its world premiere at Joburg Film Festival in February 2024.
