To bring laughter and entertainment to the screens, local filmmakers Thabiso “Lizer” Mmotlana and Kopano Molokoane have joined forces to create a comedy movie that is going to leave audiences in stitches. Krazy Heist, the brainchild of the duo, features a star-studded cast of popular comedians and social media influencers. Kopano is a talented director who worked hard on hit reality-shows such as I blew it and Suxoka.

According to Lizer (production supervisor), the idea for the movie was born in 2020, but it wasn’t until they reunited and decided to bring it to life. “We wanted to create a movie that would showcase the talents of comedians and bring laughter to the audience. We took comedians to make a comedy movie, so the comedy in the movie is natural,” he explained.

The movie's cast, includes crazy entertainment comedians, Ntate Modiri, Mpephe, Senzeni and Pastor A who add more laughter with their experience.  

Despite the challenges they faced during filming, where a camera man and sound man couldn’t keep a straight face due to laughter, the team persevered and created a movie that is truly one-of-a-kind.

The success of Krazy Heist is a testament to the power of teamwork and dedication. “It all starts with a dream and believe, Lizer advises aspiring filmmakers. “Rome was not built in one day. Everything has a beginning, you need to start somewhere. Anyone can become a celebrity from the comfort of their own home through social media,” he added.

As the movie prepares for its sequel, the team is optimistic about the future of local filmmaking. “Our government does support local projects, but the problem is that they don’t make the information accessible, we need to empower people with knowledge and skills to succeed in the arts. My message to aspiring filmmakers and actors is that your current struggles do not define who you are. Remember, you are going through hell, not to hell. You are passing, and you need to pass that experience to help someone in the future”, he concluded.

Krazy Heist movie is expected to be premiered at Ndala Mall (previous Sterland Cinemas), on the 1^st of November 2025 at 7pm, tickets are available on computicket
