Mukuru’s making moves with Hloni. Maybe you should too.
Mukuru is more than an African money transfer service. It’s a way to keep the continent moving, changing and growing. It’s a way for generations to build on generations and leave a living legacy. It’s an important message to share – and Mukuru chose Spitfire Director Hloni to do it.
Putting Zimbabwe’s youngest female rapper, Young Gemini, face-to-face with legendary actor and filmmaker, Akin Omotoso, Hloni created a complimentary contrast and a uniquely African vibe. With Young Gemini’s own music setting the background beat, the two face off over a traditional Bao board – challenging each other to make their move.
Hloni captures the spirit of Mukuru spectacularly – the traditional and the modern riffing off each other, looking forward to the endless possibilities of the future. Like the exciting possibilities Hloni can bring to your board. So make your move and call Spitfire now.

“Where there’s a screen, there’s an opportunity.” When Spitfire Films was established a decade ago by Executive Producer Liesl Karpinski and Director AK, this was a statement of intent designed to disrupt the existing production model. And Spitfire has been doing it successfully ever since. South Africa’s first 360º content production company, Spitfire has collaborated closely with the industry’s top advertising agencies and clients to create some of the country’s most effective – and engaging – content.
From TV and cinema commercials, and hugely successful interactive digital campaigns (KFC “Shakin”), to activations for Fox Crime, Insta stories for Mumm Champagne, and SA’s first interactive horror film with Facebook Live for DSTV, Spitfire has created outstanding work for every kind of content. And built a reputation for fast turnaround times, excellent value, and high creative standards. Standards embraced by our grassroots talent who are in the process of becoming Spitfire shareholders.
But it’s the work itself that speaks the loudest to Spitfire’s intent. And talent. Please take a look.
