'Mayaya:The Seed of Corruption' Movie Premiere a Success; Local Minister Hon. Bhasikiti pledges support

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, "Mayaya: The Seed of Corruption" Movie is finally done, and has recently premiered at SterKinekor, Eastgate in Harare and at The Charles Austin Theatre in Masvingo; to celebrate the success of the movie that fans have been dying to watch since the beginning of 2014, the cast took group selfies of their tour.
The movie picks up the story with Mayaya (Denice Rusoso) as a police inspector at a local charge office. His position of power allows him to protect a bogus pastor, Apostle Mazvimbakumba (Kudakwashe Manhopi), who has a weakness for women.
Among the cast members in the movie is Makodhodho (Christopher Kubvedzi) aka Jojola from Sabhuku Vharazipi 2.  New characters have also been added, including Tsitsi Magaisa and Grace Matunhu who appear as Mai Makhodho and Prophetess Mazvimbakupa respectively. There are cameos from various actors and actresses in the new film. 

The Local Minister of State Hon. K. Bhasikiti who officiated the event in Masvingo, pledged his support for the film industry in Masvingo. Speaking at the Charles Austin theatre on Saturday night the minister acknowledged the hard work put in by filmmakers whose passion was driving them to do movies even at zero budget. 'We should not develop a culture of always expecting to be sponsored before we have proved our worth. I would have done myself a disservice had I failed to attend the premiere of such a beautiful movie. It looks like Zimbabwe film and television is getting closer to have films that will also feature on channels like Movie magic. Tonight has been a wonderful night seeing my sons and daughters doing such a splendid performance'

People who attended the Harare premiere were also left wanting more. The film is a mixture of comedy, drama and action.

"Mayaya: The Seed pf Corruption" Movie will soon be released on DVD at a date yet to be announced

'Mayaya: The Seed of Corruption' to have a Double Premiere Event

 The producers of the upcoming movie 'Mayaya: The Seed of Corruption' have announced new dates for the premiere events to be held in Harare and Masvingo respectively. The new date of the Harare premiere is Friday 26 September 2014 at Ster-Kinekor's Eastgate Cinemas whilst Masvingo's Charles Austin Theatre will host the premiere event the following day, Saturday 27 September 2014. Both events will start at 6pm. This was announced during a press preview of the movie held at the Charles Austin Theatre in Masvingo last Friday 5 September. The preview which was attended by Masvingo filmmakers, local journalists, cast and crew of the feature film, was a welcomed development for Zimbabwe's film industry which is still in its infancy.
Commenting on the event, Sydney Taivavashe, a NAMA nominated filmmaker said the film was brilliant but needed some fine tuning to bed well with its professional soundtrack.  Micah Zinduru, a scriptwriter, actor and director also said he had extremely enjoyed the film with just few concerns on minor lighting issues that local filmmakers are still battling with when it comes to indoor scenes.
'I would like to appreciate all who managed to make it for the preview' said Edward Chombe, the film producer and event organiser during the press preview. 'This is to show the media that a real product is being made and it is not just a marketing stunt'.
The film was written by David Dzatsunga as a theatre play some years back and was reconstituted into a feature film following the success of Sabhuku Vharazipi 2 which he also conceived. It is directed by a Semai Danha a Zimbabwe International Film and Television School of Southern Africa (ZIFTESSA) graduate and produced by Magical Films the producers of Sabhuku Vharazipi 2 and co-producers of the 2014 NAMA nominated film 'Through The Night'.
