Ndenwa ya Munna now available online

With the extension of the initial Covid-19 national lockdown, local film creators had decided to stream their latest hard-hitting movie, Ndenwa ya Munna, online in 30-minute-long episodes.

Musiiwa Makumbi had recently introduced Ndenwa Ya Munna, but now he just made a return with its online streaming to ease the mental strain that comes with possible boredom because of the lockdown. “Now it is that time that people need more entertainment than before, and in order for them to get it, we as film creators have come up with the idea of catering it to them at no cost at this stage where all are blanketed by the spread of the coronavirus,” Makumbi said.

Makumbi had unearthed raw talent among the youth in the district, groomed them into versatile actors who then portrayed interesting scenes in his movies. “Ndenwa Ya Munna is a real-life movie that deals with crime, women and child abuse, false arrest, and bribery,” he said.

He added that the issues tackled in the movie were problems people were facing today. “The response has been overwhelming since we started posting the streaming online two weeks ago,” he said.

In the lead is Martin Musetha, who plays the role of Justice, the “guy who is a problem everywhere”, and is husband to Mamsy (Mamsy Nkhumeleni).

The cast includes, among others, Mamsy Nkhumeleni, Owen Hlungwani, Takalani Mulaudzi, Mavhungu Maiwashe, Awelani Rambau, Karabo Mantsi and Eshla Mukhari.

Other previous offerings from MSW Group include, among others, Jack the Kidnapper, Vhatukanani, and Western Style.

In the previous newspaper’s interview with Martin Musetha, he said: “Crime is a social issue that causes us a headache as a people. We all fall in love, and in this movie, we find Justice and Mamsy entangled in love challenges that they deal with and try to solve in their unique way.”
