Funnyman and Gabz FM radio show host Umaga (born Jethro Ndebele)’s vision of being one of the leading film producers and content creators in the country is slowly taking shape.

The 36-year-old is now an AFDA School of Film graduate and is already making his presence felt.
On the 4th of March, the Natale native will host a delegation of talented actors and actresses from Ndmax Movies Production.
This is one of the fastest-growing movie companies in Nollywood under the leadership of Sylvanus Nduoma who acts as the Chief Executive Officer, Director and Producer.
