Watch your wigs in 'Die Rooftog'

Michael Kayunde
'Die Rooftog' follows the tale of Ernest (Roger Rafael), a young hustler who tries his best to make ends meet by selling wors, lollipops and DVDs for a living. Rent is due, Ernest’s mother is sick, which requires a large amount of money for hospital bills, and he longs to support his girlfriend Innocentia (Tjiurimo Kandjii), a talented hairdresser who dreams of opening her own hair salon one day.

But when Ernest’s cousin Sly (played by Edo Dice Lutete) comes around, things somehow take a turn for the worse. With his charming personality and boss-like attitude, you can’t help but admire this smooth criminal, who, despite having good intentions, still plots and plans to rob posh hair salons across Windhoek.

It’s a whirlwind tale of comedy, romance, drama and all-round entertainment in the new MultiChoice Namibia-produced flick 'Die Rooftog', which premiered on kykNET & Kie this month.

“Die Rooftog was inspired by true stories – there have been many about salons getting robbed and wigs getting snatched off their heads, and I thought it would be interesting to tell a comedic point of view of what forces people to do such dodgy and not-so-fun crimes,” said producer Hildegard Titus.

Offering a dash of drama through its characters, Amy-Leigh Hammond, Mark Kariahuua, Oscar Shilongo, Abigail Goliath, Joyce Tjizu, Logino Goraseb, Selena Coetzee, and special guest star Lize Ehlers bring 'Die Rooftog' to life in this family-friendly film.
