Nollywood Super Star Mama G Live in Jo'burg

Nollywood superstar Mama G comes to Johannesburg, South Africa, to launch iROKOtv’s new Nigerian movie DVD collection. iROKOtv is the world’s largest online distributor of Nigerian movies, boasting a catalogue of over 5,000 titles, and makes the move into the DVD market in order to reach the millions of Nigerian movie fans who do not have access to the Internet.



Nigeria’s movie industry, colloquially known as ‘Nollywood’ is the second largest film industry in the world, producing around 2,000 movies a year. iROKOtv has selected ten of the very best quality movies to be distributed on DVD. They are now on sale in JoBurg markets including Soweto, Kempton Park, Rosettenville and Randburg. This is the first time iROKOtv DVDs will be sold in a beautifully designed and packaged format, with high quality standards and will cost no more than R30.



Mama G, who has starred in more than 500 movies including Old School, Airline Babes, Ukwa and One Dollar, will be in Johannesburg to officially launch iROKOtv’s new DVDs at the screening of her huge hit Airline Babes. Tickets are free for this unmissable chance to see the star in the flesh. The event is brought to you in association with Spaza and will be taking place at THE OPEN in Maboneng – one of the city’s hippest cinema screens.

Mama G will also be touring Johannesburg to sign the new iROKOtv DVDs which will be making their star debut across market places and local shops throughout Johannesburg. There will be a meet & greet event at Bara Mall in Soweto from 14-16 June where fans can have their photos taken with and get an autographed DVD from Mama G.

Some of the DVDs she will be promoting include: Mrs Somebody, Kiss & Tell, Single & Married, Airline Babes, Damage and Aki & Popo Sisters

Mama G says: “I am so happy to be here in JoBurg with iROKOtv – I cannot wait to meet fans here, I know they are very passionate about Nollywood. I have worked with the iROKOtv team for a while and I have to say they have had a considerable effect on the Nigerian movie industry – a very positive effect. I was very impressed with their site when I first saw it as it meant more people could watch my movies, and now they have also done a wonderful job with these new DVDs. They look very nice and professional and they really stand out – I am sure they will be very popular with South African Nollywood lovers.”
