About Moyo Mubi
When a group of ex-cons start terrorizing the local countryside, stealing from and tormenting the poor families in the area, a young man with a well-trained stick-fighting ability stands up and decides to be the champion of the defenseless community, tracking the hoodlums down and putting them out of business once and for all. But with his girlfriend taken hostage by the gang leader, the young warrior will have to dig deep if he hopes to ultimately save the day.
Directed by Tonie van der Merwe, Moyo Mubi leans on a strong ensemble — Innocent Gumede, Dumi Shongwe, Mandla Ngcoya — 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 comedy titles of 1989.
