Akekho Ugogo (Grandma's Not Home)


Directed by Tiny Mungwe
Released 2008

The film traces the clubbing and kwaito scene in Durban and shows that for many upwardly mobile young people in Durban , clubbing offers the only and simplest form of escapism; clubbing almost becomes a religion, a place where people can articulate their individuality. Out of this scene has emerged a music subgenre called Durban Kwaito Music. Filled with controversial lyrics, this music is taking over the country and creating a prominent entertainment industry in Durban.
