Matwetwe (Wizard) is a coming of age adventure following Lefa and Papi, best friends and recent high school graduates, on the hustle of their young lives. Over the course of one action packed New Year's Eve in the iconic township of Atteridgeville, the boys try to score a huge deal, dodge a king pin gangster and his violent minions, get the girl and ultimately save their lives in this hilarious and sometimes very serious escapade.
Set in 1976 Apartheid-era South Africa and based on a true story, this powerful film tells the story of a young man caught between his father's wishes and his own dreams. After his father is brutally killed, 16-year-old Jeremiah discovers that he had been delivering secret letters from freedom fighters in exile and prison on his rounds as a postman. When he learns that his father's last wish was for him to take over this work and continue delivering the letters, Jeremiah — who dreams of joining the police force — faces an impossible choice.
