Jongo is the story Eli King who discovers a mysterious crystal at the site of his father’s murder, which imbues him with an array of special powers. As he tries to deal with the death of his father and find the men responsible, Eli must also grapple with the powers of the crystal and how it will indelibly alter the course of his life. What Eli doesn’t know is that the men he is hunting have crystals of their own and need Eli’s stone to fulfil an ancient and devastating prophecy which will threaten the lives of millions. And caught up in the middle of everything is Eli’s best friend, Kay, and the love of his life, Maya. Watch Trailer below.
Jongo is a series from Johannesburg-based film and television studio, Motion Story. It was picked up for distribution by Discover Digital, South African network e.tv and Ebony Life TV, to be distribution partners for the series

Speaking to Screen Africa, writer and director of "Jongo," Gareth Crocker, said: “We wanted to showcase the beauty and dynamism of the continent and of South Africa in particular. So many films and TV shows focus on the problems Africans face. Jongo will emphasize all that is positive about this great continent of ours. We knew from the outset that we wanted to do
something quite different from the other shows currently on air in this genre... We wanted to ensure authenticity – to produce something that people can connect with... In casting, we specifically sought out people who are closely aligned to the characters we’ve written.”
