“It has been rare for a film to get
an award before it is premiered
in the spheres of film produc-
tion, this was the tale of Kushata
KweMoyo the box office hit that
swept our feet away at the re-
cently held NAMA awards event
hosted in the Capital”
Kushata KweMoyo is a local film made by
Mirazvo Productions in collaboration
with Rain Media which has the cast
Kudzai Musungo, Gamuchirai Duve, Alai-
kah Basikolo, Elijah Madzikatire, Ti-
notenda Saatande and Charles Mzemba.
Mirazvo Productions was founded by
brothers Nick and Mike Zemura in 2010,
their productions Muzita Rababa and Ku-
shata KweMoyo, got them awards for Out-
standing Actor, Actress, Director and Full
Length Film.
The story line tells the tale of an African
mother who mistreats her own step-
daughter, which in turn results in the
child developing hatred and coldness for
her family. It was marvelously written by
Amanda Ranganawa, a Mutare based
scriptwriter and producer
Unending chatter of the premiere circu-
lated in all the spheres of Social Media,
every local film fanatic was filled with so
much curiosity and wild expectations of
what the film was about. I remember my-
self posting something on the Film as
well! Kushata KweMoyo certainly over-
whelmed the expectations of many at its
launch recently held at Ster-Kenikor Cin-
ema at Eastgate in the Capital.
You really wonder how the Cast and Pro-
ducers knitted all the perfect ends of each
scene, such amazing work completely put
Zimbabwe’s film production on the map,
as Kushata KweMoyo is LIT in terms of
sound production and picture quality.
