Speaking with Nyasa Times, CEO of HD Plus Creations Sukez Said the project took them by surprise as they never expected that such huge companies may recognize them amongst many other companies in the SADC region.
“W e were privileged to be part of the project and our skills have largely developed, we hope to expand as well as rolling out our own movies,”explained Sukez.
