Lokshin Bioskop series: uMalokazana




In January and February 2013, Durban Motion Pictures visited Mfula Store whilst filming uMalokazana. Durban Motion Pictures was commisioned by Mzansi Magic (A DSTV channel) to make a film about Zulu culture. Mfula Store was approached to provide accommodation for the crew during their time in the area. Upon their arrival with script not yet finalised, the crew was impressed by the beauty of the area and a decision was made to adapt the script to include Mfula Store.

The film uMalokazana meaning 'daughter-in-law' is about a young, engaged, Zulu couple from Durban who visit the family of the groom-to-be in the Valley of 1000 hills before their marriage. Numerous traditional requirements are then placed upon the bride-to-be. She then realises that she must choose between satisfying her fiance's family and staying true to her beliefs.

uMalokazana is shown regularly on Mzansi Magic, channel 161 on DSTV.
