New TV Series begins production in Masvingo ahead of digitalisation

 

As Zimbabwe is gearing up for a revolutionary shift from analogue to digital in TV broadcasting come this June, the national broadcaster ZBC and independent producers have been engaged in meetings deliberating on content. A new teen series from Masvingo could not have come at a better time.

The show tells the story of a group of teenagers who ,after almost losing a friend to drug abuse, decide to create a new pastime in the form of a dance team. They engage a skilled but disturbed choreographer to lead them towards competitions. The deeper story, however, surrounds the home, school and work life of these youths in their quest for a meaningful existence in Zimbabwe's ancient city of Masvingo.

In as much as the national broadcaster is going to spearhead most of the content production there is still an opportunity for independent broadcasters to push their content in support of the national broadcaster's initiative. 

Independent producers will however need to push their game a little further up the quality chain in terms of storytelling, cinematography, editing and several other aspects of film and TV production inorder to make an indelible mark.

If the national broadcaster provides some guidelines to required content it will be easier for independent producers to have an appreciation of what is required of them.

Watchout for the teen series 'Eleven PM' coming out soon on TV.

Masvingo braces for the Supernatural

Walking down the city streets of Masvingo, trees have assimilated a new colour of blue and white. For the soccer fanatics this might be synonymous with a local premier league giant. However, something smells different with this particular branding. There is a whiff of spiritual domination amidst the calmness and the quiescent atmosphere. The heavens opened up across the region and shed tears to wash away filth and simultaneously quench nature's thirst. This might be an acceptable transition from summer to winter but for the city of Masvingo it is also a preparation for a Supernatural invasion.

The invasion has taken over the city's biggest soccer venue, Mucheke stadium. Steel could be seen gradually towering towards the heavens in what looks like one of the biggest event stage ever to come the city's way. Men and women could be seen scurrying like ants seemingly not dissuaded by the fall of night that turned the stadium into one big dark hole.
The determination heralded the coming of generals in the spirit, the founders of a highly spiritual movement that seeks to harvest souls. In an unprecedented attack, demonic strongholds have been disturbed psychologically as if by a physical jolt or shock.

Bishop Colin Nyathi and Senior Reverend Dr. Sarah Nyathi, founders of Harvest House International Church, are being hosted by Reverends Ntobeko and Sithandazile Mhlanga, and together they are bringing the Supernatural event to Masvingo. Healing, miracles and deliverance defines this Supernatural event that runs from 22 April to 26 April 2015.

Also gracing the Supernatural event is Takesure 'Zamar' Ncube. Minister Takesure or brother Takesure ‘Zamar’ of Worship Addicts, is without doubt one of Zimbabwe’s musical prodigy. He has written and performed internationally acclaimed songs in the gospel genre, most of which are sung in local churches. He has shared the platform with various celebrated international gospel outfits including the likes of Benjamin Dube from South Africa and Keke Phoofolo. He featured in the recent Joyous Celebration 19 with his tracks ‘Kuregerera in advance’ and ‘Agere pachigaro’.

Speaking to Wezhira TV, the spokesperson of Harvest House International Church Masvingo, said they are expecting healings, miracles, deliverance and a lot of people giving their life to Christ. The crusade/conference is an open event where thousands of people are expected to come from all over the Masvingo province. ‘We are geared and very well prepared to host thousands of people who want to come to feast on the gospel’, the spokesman added.

To cap the gospel and musical feast there will be a live DVD recording on Sunday 26 April of a fusion of Harvest House choirs called ‘Shaback’.

Local show re-brands to match an international feel [video]

'Masvingo Swag', Wezhira TV's magazine show presented by Candice Masimba, has re-branded to 'Masvingo Glam'. Season 2 of the show premieres online this Friday the 10th of April 2015. Speaking at the re-branding ceremony held at Wezhira TV studios, Candice Masimba said she was aiming for an international audience.

Magical Films director Mr Edward Chombe said he welcomed the move which was spearheaded by the filmmaking company's research and development officer Miss Linda Macheka.
'I am happy that we are gradually moving away from thinking inside the box and taking a bold step towards making our programmes look appealing to a wider audience.'

The season 2 premiere has a special feature on the recently held Masvingo Music Awards, a show organised by P 'n' P Global Marketing. In the new show Candice carries herself like an international presenter. The show only had a large bearing on the youth and the producers of the show are hoping that the it will now be followed by a mature audience as well because of its emphasis on glamour instead of the youthful swag.

The executive producer of the show Vimbai Mbire said the second season will run for 13 episodes and so far, six episodes have already been produced. Vimbai also added that international and local distributors will be approached to help in the distribution and marketing of the show.

Mayaya sequel leaked descriptions : Open auditions to be held in Masvingo

Open auditions are being planned for two feature films: 'Mayaya Too' and 'The Great Con'

The casting sessions for the feature films has been set for The Charles Austin Theatre in Masvingo.

According to a movie audition notice the film-makers, are looking to fill new roles in 'Mayaya Too' and need an entire cast for 'The Great Con'.

The open auditions for the "International feature films" announced a nationwide search for lead roles for the Magical Films movies

Magical Films is the production house behind 'Mayaya: The Seed of Corruption' and 'Sabhuku Vharazipi 2'

The auditions are to be held on the 7th of February from 10am.

Leaked descriptions

'Mayaya Too' was written by David Dzatsunga and the story is set in the urban and rural enclaves of Zimbabwe, the poverty stricken and crime-ridden ghettos and the desperate rural folks who rely on subsistence farming and hand-outs from siblings and relatives in the cities and the diaspora. 
One of the major features of the set-up is the corrupt police and judiciary where justice is bought on supermarket shelves. The police, the prosecutor and the judges are as corruptible against the backdrop of very poor civil service salaries and the prospect of a bleak retirement.

 Also prominent is the rise of urban ghetto youth culture symbolised by the rise of the Zimdancehall music genre influenced by the Jamaican reggae culture. Most youths have taken up this genre because it is cheap to make, record and ride on one’s luck into stardom and indeed offers an escape route from urban ghetto poverty.

'The Great Con' was written by Nosta Mukaro who will also be directing the film. It is a love story that blossomed during the diamond rush and economy scourge of 2008. The fast paced thriller tackles the diamond underworld business and the prominent unscrupulous survival tactics whilst delving into an unsanctioned romance between two ill-fated lovers.

Magical Films director and filmmaker, Edward Chombe revealed that the feature films are scheduled to begin shooting in Masvingo in April, for an expected 2015 release.
