The cross-cultural movie, Fanie Fourie\u2019s Lobola, <\/i>currently playing on nationwide cinema screens, has acquired a stash of its own Lobola in the form of strong reviews, increased box office, a host of awards, and a broad and vital fan base among new generation South Africans. In the spirit of Ubuntu the producers will be paying the Lobola for a happy couple who are ready to turn their love into marriage, and some lucky movie fans can choose their lobola in cash or a head of cattle.<\/p>\n

Fanie Fourie\u2019s Lobola<\/i> is a funny and heart-warming love story between an Afrikaans Guy and a Zulu Girl. An arrangement which starts out as a wicked dare, takes an unexpected 360 degree turn into the real deal: complete and utter love, and the M word and that,<\/i> calls for Tradition \u2013 but it\u2019s complicated!<\/p>\n

Henk Pretorius directs the romantic comedy starring newcomer, Zethu Dlomo, as \u201cDinky\u201d, a gutsy, aspiring businesswoman who falls in love with the offbeat \u201cFanie\u201d, played by Eduan van Jaarsveldt. Janine Eser, with Pretorius as co-writer, penned the screenplay which is inspired by Nape \u00e0 Motana\u2019s book of the same name.<\/p>\n

The movie was made with the support of the National Film & Video Foundation mandated by the government to develop and promote South African film. It\u2019s
\nproduced by Out of Africa Entertainment, the production company behind
\n\u2018Schuks Tshabalala\u2019s Survival to 2010\u2019 and \u2018The Bang Bang Club\u2019. Out of Africa producing partners, Lance Samuels and Kweku Mandela, say: \u201cThe film is a bold and humorous mix of cross-cultural and class differences, family politics, and loads of cows. The broad appeal is the romantic ideal that true love can survive most obstacles.\u201d Producer and co-writer, Janine Eser says, \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to see how the film has exploded in social networking over the past few weeks. This is the new \u2018word of mouth\u2019 that is drving audiences to the cinema. Our most common comment about the film online is how it makes our audiences feel \u2018proudly South African\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
