‘Game Changers' film wraps up production in Khutsong and Carletonville
The highly anticipated local film Game Changers has officially completed post-production after filming in Khutsong and Carletonville. Directed by renowned local filmmaker Mahavatar, the film will have its first exclusive screening on May 31, reserved for the cast, crew, and production team.
Although the film is still in its final stages—with additional scenes planned for inclusion—excitement is growing among those involved. Game Changers explores the vibrant world of local creative talent and the thriving entertainment scene in Merafong.
Mahavatar confirmed that more screenings of recent local films are planned in the near future. These will culminate in the inaugural Merafong Film Festival, where Game Changers and other regional film projects will be showcased to the public for the first time.
This milestone marks a significant step forward for the Merafong arts and culture community, giving local filmmakers and performers a platform to shine.

Carletonville church hosts vibrant Youth Day celebration
The Ebenezer Spiritual Church in Carletonville held a spirited Youth Day Celebration Service on Sunday, 15 June, bringing together children, youth, adults, and elders in a multigenerational event filled with inspiration, culture, and community unity. The programme was led by MC Ma Jange, who guided the audience through a lively service that began with scripture readings by Sister Ipeleng and Sister Reitumetse. Mama Lettie delivered a motivational talk, while Ntate David and Mme Charmaine moved the crowd with poems on the values and responsibilities of the youth. Mme Thuli also spoke, encouraging young people to embrace positivity and pursue digital skills for the future. The church proudly hosted its first official Youth Day event, with two ward councillors in attendance—Mrs Charmaine Kgateste and Mr Tlharipe—who came to support and witness the occasion. A special highlight was the appearance of local Hip Hop artists and Merafong Music Award winners, Vibration Taylor and Omphile Bigger, who joined the celebration as surprise guests and later entertained attendees with an energetic performance. The day concluded with a powerful youth-led drama depicting the historic Soweto Uprising, inspired by the classic film Sarafina. Young performers dressed in school uniforms danced and acted out the events, paying tribute to the youth of 1976 while celebrating the hope and potential of today's generation. The Ebenezer Spiritual Church expressed gratitude for the turnout and honoured all guests, artists, and speakers who helped make the Youth Day service a memorable success.
