AMAKHOSI Theatre will today officially launch the eagerly awaited Nyaminyami series whose auditions attracted people from as far as South Africa.

In an interview, Amakhosi Theatre director Cont Mhlanga said the launch would be the first step towards starting the productions of episode one to four.

"Launching the series will mark the first productions of episode one to four.

"After rehearsals, the reception would be open to the media to mix and mingle with the crew," he said.

Mhlanga said he was inviting business associates and advertising agencies to associate with everyone involved in the series.

He also said students from various schools were also invited so that they learn how to lay out a screen play.

He said in as much as he penned the series, three other writers also did a great job in writing the screen play.

"Three seasoned screen writers namely Mandisi Gobodi, Thembelihle Moyo and Nkosinomusa Moyo also did a great job as screen writers," he said.

Some of the Amakhosi Theatre graduates are set to grace the occasion.

Mhlanga also urged aspiring screen writers to be well trained so as to tackle the demands of  such a position. He also said the series was set to add value to the local arts industry as it was one of a kind.

"We want people to learn a lot from this series from the little details of where, how and when the productions were carried out.

"Many people will learn a lot of things which I believe will sharpen their skills be it in screen play writing, productions and acting," he said.

Copies of the series would be sold at Amakhosi for R20.
