April brings a double dose of local romance – and plenty of laughs – as two new proudly South African releases come to Ster-Kinekor cinemas. Love Lives Here sees Thando Thabethe looking for the right kind of love, while the Kandasamys and the Naidoos return to the big screen for another dose of hostility and hilarity in Kandasamys – The Wedding.

Love Lives Here

Zinhle Malinga (Thando Thabethe) is a hardworking modern woman with strong traditional values who knows what she deserves, and believes she knows what kind of man she needs to be happy. She is not willing to play games and waste time – she wants to take the next step in her life and get married. But her mission to find love is frustrated by the gap between the old and the new, as modern relationships present a whole new series of challenges. A romantic comedy also starring Lungile Rady, Zola Nombona, Motlatsi Mafatshe, Andile Gumbi and Nkanyiso Bhengu, Love lives here releases 5 April 2019.

Kandasamys – The Wedding

The Kandasamys and the Naidoos are neighbours on the verge of becoming one big, happy family. It’s been a few years since Jennifer Kandasamy and Shanthi Naidoo rekindled their once tainted friendship and the two could not be happier that their children Jodi and Prishen are to be wed. It’s one week before the wedding and the mothers unravel in a rollercoaster of hysteria, laughter and tears as the young couple’s relationship is put to the ultimate test in the build-up to their wedding day! Kandasamys – The Wedding releases on 18 April 2019.

Ster-Kinekor Theatres is the largest movie exhibitor on the African continent. To most South Africans, the word ‘movies’ is synonymous with the name ‘Ster-Kinekor’. The company operates 55 commercial cinema complexes in South Africa, with seven international sites based in Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The cinema chain’s sites house more than 424 large-scale screens, over 60 994 seats and the largest 3D footprint featuring more than 154 state-of-the-art 3D screens across the country (Commercial, 3D, IMAX and Cine Prestige) with 137 in South Africa. In Africa, the company operates in 5 cinema complexes with 26 screens and 3607 seats. As the industry leader, Ster-Kinekor has pioneered cinema concepts such as Cinema Nouveau, one of the world’s largest dedicated art-house multiplex circuits, and the luxurious Cine Prestige theatres, the first ‘business class’ cinema experience in South Africa. It boasts the only cinema on the continent that is fitted with the advanced Dolby Atmos sound system (at Gateway in Durban); and has headed the return of the IMAX® Experience, with the opening of seven IMAX® Theatres across the country. As one of South Africa’s most loved brands, it is Ster-Kinekor’s ongoing mission to become synonymous with the unrivalled magic of the cinema experience, by providing ‘Great Moments at Their Greatest’. During 2013, the company embarked on a massive roll-out project to convert and equip every cinema with the very latest in digital projection and sound technology. The result of this upgrade is that every cinema now boasts state-of-the-art cinema technology that encompasses 2K and 4K digital projection and 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems. The SK Club loyalty programme rewards members with redeemable points when they swipe their card when buying movie tickets or catering, as well as half price tickets on Tuesdays. Combined with industry leading loyalty programmes from Edgars Club, Discovery Vitality and Standard Bank, these give Ster-Kinekor a strong consumer value proposition and competitive advantage. As the market leader, Ster-Kinekor aims to spearhead the advancement of cinema across both South Africa and the rest of Africa, to ensure that consumers continue to experience movies as they were made to be seen – on the big screen.
