About Uthemba
Themba is released from serving two years in prison for his best friend, Vusi. Upon his release, he discovers that Vusi, the car thief, has been sleeping with his girlfriend, Thandi. Themba decides to change his fate and become a snitch – helping the police put an end to Vusi’s ongoing crime spree.
Directed by Rudi Mayer, Uthemba leans on a strong ensemble — Lucas Tsiane, Muntu Ndebele, Aaron Mbuli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
