South Africa based actors have released a movie, Mari Yeropa which denounces shortcuts to success through ritual riches.
The movie which was produced by Simon Jamukoko comes after another one called Manenji.
Jamukoko said the movie discourages people from acquiring riches through unorthodox means.
“The movie talks about people who are trying to do shortcuts to success then at the end it will affect their families.
“We have noted that many people are resorting to looking for sangomas and end up using blood to get riches.
“So this movie is more like a discouragement to people not to envy shortcuts to success because it will end not only affecting them but the whole families.”
“This movie comes after Manenji, the one which shows disaster after a man impregnated his brother-in-law’s wife.
“On this project we have Celani Rice, Trueman Chikukwa, Zandile Ncube, Thomas Wonekai, Simon Jamukoko, Ophyllia Jakewi and more other characters.
“To finance this movie we partnered with William Gift Civil Billcashier and the Home improvement centre who have been helping to finance this project,” he said.
The movie involves a certain man who envied his friend’s wealth as he was struggling financially himself.
He then asked and begged his friend to link him to his business so he could make a decent living too. The friend eventually agreed and took him to a witch doctor’s shrine and the man unknowingly obtained goblins which were said to provide him money and many other benefits in exchange for animals’ blood.
But this was just the beginning of a surprising chronicle to him and his family.
His brother started his sanity and the other one lost his sister.
