What makes these 123+ films special is their diversity—rural farm stories, urban love tales, thrillers, and even horror (like Griet ) all exist side by side. They celebrate local talent, boost the economy, and preserve the Afrikaans language for future generations. So whether you’re a native speaker or just curious about South African culture, exploring these movies is a journey worth taking.

The number 123 serves as a symbolic milestone, highlighting how far the industry has come since the days of classics like Jock of the Bushveld (1994) and The Gods Must Be Crazy (which featured Afrikaans dialogue). Today, streaming platforms like Showmax and kykNET have made these films accessible to a wider audience, with hits like Fiela se Kind (2019 adaptation) and Poppie Nongena gaining critical acclaim.

Afrikaans cinema has seen a remarkable revival over the past decade, and with over 123 feature films produced since the early 2000s, the industry has firmly established itself as a vibrant part of South Africa’s cultural landscape. From romantic comedies like Liefling and Pretville to gripping dramas such as Stuur Groete aan Mannetjies Roux and Dis Koue Kos, Skat , these movies offer more than just entertainment—they reflect the language, humor, and heart of Afrikaans-speaking communities.
