Nu Metro hoping to revitalise movie-going experience
JOHANNESBURG - Cinema corporation Nu Metro hopes to revitalise the movie-going experience for all South Africans. Through various partnerships and theatrical expansions, Nu Metro is on a bid to prove its slogan, 'We're more than just movies, we're an experience', true. The corporation held an event for media and stakeholders last Wednesday to discuss and unveil what sets it apart from its competitors. This includes partnerships with other corporations to bring down the steep ticket prices. Many have bemoaned this as the reason they're unable to watch the film industry's latest offerings. These include partnerships with Absa Rewards, Nedbank, Momentum, Sanlam, African Bank, Vodacom, and Clientèle. 'Our prices, if you're using the partners, have actually gone down [since 2019]. Our strategic move after Covid was to bring in more partners to make it [ticket prices] more affordable... So, really, for a family of four you're looking at R270 for tickets and R180 for Coke and popcorn. It would've cost you more in 2019,' said Nu Metro business analyst Menen Muthial. However, a drawback they might experience is that moviegoers will need to be members of these corporations to access these discounts, potentially alienating an audience who may, for example, prefer a Nu Metro-specific discount deal that doesn't require a third party to use. 'At the end of it, the benefits are there, and it's not only a movie benefit that sits with these partners… It's a basket of value that you get, but the choice is yours,' Andries Basson, the operations executive Nu Metro, said. Another offering from Nu Metro, seemingly more targeted towards families, is its ongoing collaboration with Bounce Inc, an indoor active entertainment company that it likens to an 'urban playground environment'. The collaboration aims to target 'underused cinema spaces', transforming them into smaller Bounce experiences at top malls across South Africa. It will also be integrating the two juggernauts through symbiotic giveaways and prizes and integrating loyalty programmes where spending at one earns rewards or discounts at the other. 'We're flipping the script on what it means to 'go to the movies'. It's not just popcorn and a seat any more. Now you can jump, play, explore, and connect - all under one roof,' it said in a statement. Nu Metro also offers experiences such as different cinematic viewings with its 4DX theatres, it's 3D Xtreme theatres, and the introduction of its ScreenX theatre in Gateway in Durban, an 'African-first' which it said will 'drop you into the middle of a film, as it is intricately engineered to bring moviegoers closer to the action'. Additionally, consumers can host and attend events at Nu Metro cinemas, be catered to a VIP viewing experience, a kids-only viewing experience, and host birthday parties. 'Nu Metro isn't just about watching movies - it's about the experience. With bold investments and a clear vision, the cinema group is reaffirming what audiences across South Africa already know: cinema is well and truly alive,' the statement said.

Simphiwe Shembe brings the laughs and vibe to Durban's Comedy Picnic
Durban is about to laugh out loud literally as comedian Simphiwe Shembe gears up to headline the Comedy Picnic at the Durban Botanical Gardens on August 23. According to Simphiwe, the event promises more than just punchlines. 'It's a full-on celebration of joy, culture and community under the open sky. It's the people. The laughter. The need for joy, especially in these times. Durban needs its own comedy tradition. So why not start with a picnic?' he says. With a line-up of 16 comedians, live music and DJs, Simphiwe says curating the event was like 'planning a wedding for funny people'. Expect a buffet of comedy styles, from clean to spicy, featuring rising stars and seasoned pros. As both host and headliner, Simphiwe promises to keep the energy high. 'It's like being the pastor and the praise poet at the same time — you guide and you entertain,' he says with a laugh. For fans wondering what to expect from his set, Simphiwe teases: 'It's raw. It's real. It's proudly Zulu, proudly South African, and slightly disrespectful to people who take themselves too seriously.' And it's not just about the comedy. The Botanical Gardens were chosen for their beauty and vibe. 'Nature has no filter, just like good comedy,' he says. 'We're bringing the old African tradition of storytelling back to the lawn.' Festivalgoers are encouraged to bring picnic gear, dress comfortably and colourfully, and bring 'that loud cousin who laughs before the punchline'. There may even be some surprise moments along the way. 'Comedy Picnic is not just a show — it's an experience,' he adds. Beyond the laughter, Simphiwe sees this as part of a bigger mission: to grow the local comedy scene and use humour as a tool for healing. 'There's a book in the works, and a campaign about laughter as wellness.'

Creative arts guru Matome Rapetsoa to be honoured as Raising Legends hero
Acclaimed creative arts figure Matome Rapetsoa is to be honoured by the Hope Givers Foundation as one of this year's Raising Legends heroes, a prestigious recognition awarded to men redefining what it means to be a positive role model in South Africa and beyond. The Raising Legends Awards 2025 will be held at Killarney Country Club, Johannesburg, on July 25. Matome is a playwright, director and executive producer of Awareness Industrial Theatre plays and radio dramas prepared for clients and partners through the Mahuma Group and Get Down Productions. Described as a game-changer, captain of industry and inspiration to countless young men, Matome's recognition comes as part of the eighth annual Raising Legends Awards, hosted by the Hope Givers Foundation in collaboration with Brand South Africa, the South African Leadership Gentlemen's Club, Contralesa and Killarney Country Club. The Raising Legends initiative was launched to challenge and change the dominant narrative around masculinity, offering an alternative script for the African man, one rooted in leadership, care, responsibility and protection. It aims to mentor, support and groom boys to become responsible fathers, husbands, leaders and community builders. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Matome said he is overwhelmed with gratitude, humbled by the honour and in awe of the recognition. 'It's a poignant reminder that our efforts to make a difference haven't gone unnoticed. Seeing ourselves through the eyes of others has been a profoundly moving experience and I'm deeply touched by the acknowledgment. 'This recognition reaffirms our commitment to our people and our mission. It's a resounding validation that we're on the right path and it serves as a powerful motivator to continue striving for excellence. The acknowledgment is a testament to our team's dedication and passion and it will undoubtedly fuel our future endeavours. I remain thankful to Hope Givers Foundation, the organisers of this prestigious event, for the acknowledgment. This acknowledgment resonates with one of my favourite quotes, 'aspire to inspire before you expire'.' The awards are part of a broader intervention programme focused on tackling gender-based violence by encouraging positive masculinity. This year's event will also include two key components: Take a Boy Child to Work, which provides young men with first-hand exposure to various career opportunities; and Raising Legends Summit, a conversation-driven platform that tackles pressing issues facing men and boys today, from mental health and financial literacy to culture and religion. This year's celebration promises to be bigger and better, shining a deserved spotlight on individuals such as Matome, who continue to make meaningful change in their fields and communities.
