He is credited with penning of the finest ever local soaps to hit the local small screen, Amakorokoza, as well as the popular comedy, Sinjalo, among many other television productions.
It is non other than Amakhosi Theatre Director and arts guru, Cont Mhlanga.
As one drives along the Victoria falls highway, a few minutes away from Lupane centre lies a banner on the left side of the road which one cannot simply ignore.
This is the place that Mhlanga now calls home since he left Bulawayo a year ago.
The home is a direct reflection of the artistic skills that he possesses.
Not surprising, considering that he has been in the field for 36 years.
The fruit trees, the chicken, the goats, the flowers are all there to serve a certain purpose that will add flavour to the arts business, he said.
What strikes the visitor is the banner showing directions to the internet access point.
The Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services, Dr Chris Mushowe and the delegation that accompanied him to various transmission sites, paid a courtesy call on the arts guru at his rural home in Lupane and emphasised that government still needs Mhlanga's expertise for content creation.
Affectionately known as Cont, Continueloving Mhlanga wrote plays that include Sinjalo, The End, Children on Fire, Stitsha, which became a television series on ZBC Televisions, as well as producing the popular soap, Amakorokoza.
