The local community will enjoy international exposure due to a film that will be shot in and around Ladysmith.
The movie ‘Reflections’ will be cast in different locations under uThukela’s jurisdiction, with Thapelo Mokoena (TV personality) being the director of the production.
During a media briefing, Thapelo discussed his plans for the movie and highlighted his aim to give his best to the community of Ladysmith.
This initiative of the Department of Social & Economic Services, working together with the cast, is in line with the recent launch of promoting local tourist destinations.
