CASTLE MILK STOUT AND UZALO JOIN FORCES TO CELEBRATE THE 2024 ANCESTORS DAY

 In a ground-breaking partnership, Castle Milk Stout and SABC 1’s hit drama series Uzalo are set to revolutionize the way we celebrate our heritage. This May, a five-part special storyline that brings Ancestor’s Day to life is expected to leave viewers of the biggest South African drama on the edge of their seats.

Ancestor’s Day, celebrated on May 8th, is a significant cultural event that honours our ancestors and celebrates our rich heritage. But what does it really mean to us, and how can we make it relevant in our modern lives?

That’s where Castle Milk Stout and Uzalo come in – two brands that are passionate about preserving and celebrating African culture. Through their partnership, they aim to educate, entertain, and inspire audiences to embrace their heritage and honour their ancestors in an authentic manner.



So, what can you expect from this five-part special storyline?

A thrilling ride that will take you on a journey through the highs and lows of Geja (played by Mnqobi Kunene) and Nokuthula’s (played by Faith Mgobhozi) love story, cleverly woven into the fabric of Ancestor’s Day.

Without giving too much away, because of their blossoming love, Geja and Nokuthula find themselves at the center of a vibrant cultural celebration that honors the ancestors. With that comes drama, excitement, and plenty of twists and turns.

But that’s not all – this partnership between Castle Milk Stout and Uzalo is not just about entertainment; it’s also about education and cultural preservation with traditional healer and thought leader, Gogo Dineo Ndlanzi making a cameo appearance. Castle Milk Stout and Uzalo have worked tirelessly to ensure that the storyline is authentic and informative, providing viewers with a deeper understanding of the significance of Ancestor’s Day and its relevance in modern times.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Uzalo on this meaningful project,” said Castle Milk Stout Marketing Manager Khwezi Vika. “Ancestor’s Day is a celebration that reminds us to be proud of who we are and where we come from, allowing us to honor our roots while embracing an era of African renaissance. Their dedication to telling authentic African stories aligns perfectly with our values, and we couldn’t think of a better platform to share this important message,” Vika explained.

Uzalo series producer King Dave Mukwevho described the partnership between Castle Milk Stout and Uzalo as not just a collaboration – it’s a movement. It’s a movement to celebrate our heritage, honour our ancestors, and preserve our cultural traditions for future generations. So, let’s join hands and make this Ancestor’s Day one to remember!

“We’re excited to share this special storyline with our viewers,” said Mukwevho. “Ancestor’s Day is a significant cultural event that deserves to be celebrated, and we’re proud to work with Castle Milk Stout to bring it to life in a fun and engaging way.”
