An SA crime movie which is streaming on eMedia's eVOD site has some new and familiar faces.
The cast of Surviving Gaza includes Botlhale Mahlangu (Phuzi), Samke Makhoba (Thandeka), Ayanda Daweti (Titus) and Mpho Molepo (Cash Zonke), and it promises to entertain all audiences with its captivating cinematography and convincing characters.
For 17-year-old Phuzi, the dream of becoming a kwaito star is palpable but the dark underbelly of the criminal world in his township, Gaza, stands in opposition to it.
While his mother and everyone else he knows has had a dream to succeed, no-one has ever made it out of Gaza. However, the return of Phuzi’s childhood sweetheart, Thandeka, to the township fills him with hope of better days to come, as she brings good news too.
A new kwaito competition is looking for contestants and Thandeka believes Phuzi has what it takes to make it. Also drawn to his friends, who are about to establish themselves as a crime duo, Phuzi has a difficult decision to make when he becomes entangled in a horrendous crime that rocks the whole Gaza community.
