THULEBONA
Directed by Lwazi Duma
When Thulebona, a newly married security guard and sole provider for his struggling family, unexpectedly wins R300,000 in the lottery, his life is thrown into turmoil. Torn between repairing his parents' crumbling home and building a future with his pregnant wife, he must confront his deepest fear: disappointing the people he loves. Set against the harsh realities of life in a dangerous informal settlement, Thulebona is a moving family drama about duty, dignity, and the impossible choices that come with sudden opportunity.
