MEET MELUSI

Meet Melusi is a moving story of fatherhood and finding the real meaning of life. After losing everything when he’s accused of bribery, Aubrey discovers what fatherhood means when he’s introduced to a 16-year-old boy he is told is his illegitimate son.

Directed by Black Brain Films co-founder Mandla N (2021 SAFTA winners Loving Thokoza and Lockdown), Meet Melusi stars four-time SAFTA winner and MonteCarlo Golden Nymph nominee Mothusi Magano (Blood Psalms, The Lab, Emoyeni) as Aubrey.

Dear colleagues

Thank You...

I am not sure if a Thank You Note is an acceptable gesture but a’bakwa Mpofu would like to thank all colleagues for their overwhelming support during our trying time.

It is difficult to find the words to express our gratitude for the many kindnesses you have shown us during this sad time.

We are so grateful for all you have done for us. The cards, letters, phone and email messages, prayers, and visits meant a great deal to us as we struggled with our heartbreaking loss. Along with the emotional support you gave us, and other gifts of your time and energy helped sustain us day to day.

We are unable to write individual thank you’s to each one of you, given the great outpouring of support. Please know that your generosity and thoughtfulness have touched us deeply.

Knowing that we were not alone helped us bear our grief and sadness. Thank you for being there for us.
