The first Showmax Original 2D animated series, Twende follows a pangolin of the same name, the slowest moving animal in the Savannah. Twende’s belief that, ‘life is about the journey, not the destination’ is constantly at odds with his job as a boda boda driver in the bustling, fictional East African city of Milima. Twende is voiced by Junior Nyong'o (The Legend of Lwanda Magere, Hamlet), while June Gachui (Crime and Justice, Nairobi Half Life) plays his unlikely best friend and navigator, Nuru - a whip-smart bird who always looks out for her bestie, even if his chilled-out vibe drives her crazy sometimes. Kalasha Awards nominee Elsaphan Njora (Super Sema, Kati Kati) voices Boss, the perennially broke and exhausted hyena who owns the boda boda agency where Nuru and Twende work. The all-Kenyan voice cast also includes Charles Ouda (Crime and Justice) as showy stunt driver Kimbe and Mkamzee Mwatela (Mali) as Boss’s rival, Madam Mongoose, CEO of the evil tech empire Goober. Also listen out for Kalasha Awards winner Nyokabi Macharia (Super Sema), Joyce Musoke (Second Family) and seasoned voice actor and director Khaemba W. Edward (Ogas at the Top, The XYZ Show). Produced by London-based Braintrust and Johannesburg-based Mind’s Eye Creative, Twende is co-created by Charlie Maas, Kayla Archer, Mike Scott and Regan Riskas Maas, with Greig Cameron (Seal Team, Supa Strikas) as the showrunner. Twende’s pilot screened in competition at Annecy, the world’s premier animation festival, in 2021. MultiChoice Studios is handling international sales. The first 2D animated show of this scale and quality made almost entirely in Africa, Twende premieres on Friday, 1 December 2023, with five episodes available to binge. Slow down and enjoy the ride.

by Oresti Patricios. The fast-food quest for enlightenment continues as Chicken Licken extends its “Soul Fire/Soul Food” campaign with a laugh-out-loud ‘kung fooey’ satire. This new commercial from Net#work BBDO and Plank Films pokes fun at martial arts movies, its stock characters and themes, in a way that’s both entertaining and endearing.

How do you entice customers to book a stay at your new range of hotels that offer unique vacation experiences? Sea Monster’s solution is a series of animations that make everyone want to join in the fun. We all know that water is a precious commodity, and that Cape Town is dealing with a water crisis, but what does that actually mean? What can we as a community do in this situation? It’s very tempting for us as humans to try and find someone to blame, or expect and rely on government bodies to “sort it out”. When faced with challenges we tend to push responsibility to someone else, or to generally ignore the problem. But why not look at the water crisis differently? You, and only you, can decide what kind of human being you are. This is most critical not when times are good, but when times are bad, and there are challenges to face. It’s easy to be generous when you’re rich, but can you be generous when you’re struggling?

The Future of Sneaker Care is Here. Sneaker LAB is an innovative shoe care brand with a passion for all things sneakers. We’ve taken this passion for sneaker culture and combined it with science, to create a natural line of sneaker cleaning products. Each Sneaker LAB product carefully applies biotechnology to create an effective, environmentally friendly solution for your shoe cleaning needs. We’ve achieved this by taking our cue from nature to harness the power of live bacteria rather than using harsh chemicals. Sneaker LAB now presents the future of sneaker care with CLEAN | CARE | PROTECT: A 3 step shoe care routine that involves our Sneaker Cleaner, Odor Protector and Sneaker Protector. CLEAN - our Sneaker Cleaner is unlike many products on the market in that it does not contain any soap or harsh chemicals. Instead, we harness the same cleaning power that mother nature uses; bacteria. The bacteria that we use is bioengineered to break down dirt at the molecular level and continues to work long after application. CARE - our Odor Protector is designed to treat the cause of bad smells, not the symptoms. That unwanted odor that can sometimes be found in your shoes is actually caused by bacteria. So we decided to fight fire with fire. Our formula contains bioengineered bacteria that feeds on the bad odor emitting kind and continues to work long after the first application. PROTECT - our Sneaker Protector uses a water-based formula containing polymers that coat the fibres of your shoes, which prevents stains from setting into the fabric. Our formula also contains sunscreens to help prevent premature fading from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
