Premier: How To Steal 2 Million


Last night was the premier for ‘How To Steal 2 Million’, written and directed by Charlie Vundla. An imaginative South African story, with authentic SA lingo (not that weird language in Tsotsi) and a great cast. Big names. Menzi Ngubane, Terry Pheto, Rapulana Seiphemo, John Kani and Hlubi Mboya. 

A big guest list. It seems like every film and entertainment industry person was there. The film was screened in all 5 movie theatres in Killarney Mall. Menzi couldn’t as he is currently in hospital and we wish him a speedy recovery. I did not see John Kani either but Terry, Rapulane and Hlubi show their support.

Admittedly I think the movie starts of a slow and there is lot of dialogue yet it still deserved the applause it received when the credits started rolling. This young Vundla is one to watch.
