Laundry

Laundry, also known by its Zulu title Uhlanjululo, is scheduled for release on August 13, 2026, from Akka Films. Set in Johannesburg in 1968, the film centers on Khuthala, who has little interest in inheriting his father's laundry business. His personal ambitions — he wants to pursue a career as a musician — are complicated by the apartheid government's escalating crackdown on Black business ownership, which places the family enterprise under direct threat. The narrative places Khuthala between private aspiration and collective obligation at a moment of acute political pressure.
