Our mates over at the media workshop are currently shooting the 8th episode of locally produced series, Songololo and will be submitting the completed series for broadcast at the end of June.
And you, as a local, are being asked to comment on the sneak peek below:
Place your comments in the section below or mail them to MyPE.
Songololo is a double-storey house, which serves as cheap digs for an odd assortment of people of all races. 13 family-friendly 24 minute episodes of the series revolves around the occupants of apartment number four. They are Ashwell and Jermaine Boontjies, two brothers who made a pact 15 years earlier that they would be millionaires by 2013. Now, after the death of their grandfather who had been their sole provider, they need to make a plan quickly just to survive, let alone make their millions. They embark on a series of outrageous money-making schemes, assisted by another tenant, the ever-optimistic conniver, Mthunzi Mabentsela.

Thank you for this post Alan. I am working closely with the Media Workshop to promote Songololo after completing a video production course with them over 3 months. This page came up tops on Google yet again 😉
In some small way I hope that MyPE’s continuous focus on our city and region leads to greater recognition and prosperity. Us locals need to once again swell with pride at the achievements of our gifted citizens.
If a production like Songololo was produced in a larger city I can bet you that people would be throwing money at it and promoting it to the hilt out of a sense of pride – this sense of pride is what our locals sorely need to re-discover.
