Leon Schuster Schuks Tshabalala’s Survival Guide to South Africa 2010

Plot Summary

As the countdown to 2010 begins, everyone will become infected with "soccer fever”. It seems only natural that we should hear from Leon Schuster and his usual army of funny-bone tickling bandits at this time. SCHUKS TSHABALALA’S SURVIVAL GUIDE TO SOUTH AFRICA 2010 is a combination of dramatic narrative and traditional candid camera gags unleashed on a new group of unsuspecting Schuster victims. Leon himself is incarnated in the lead as Schuks Tshabalala. Shot largely on location in Cape Town and surrounds, Leon plays himself and an array of alternate characters alongside his trusty sidekick “Shorty” (Alfred Ntombela). They are part of the 2010 tourism campaign, and tasked with assisting tourists who are in the process of planning their visits to South Africa. The story is littered with all sorts of mishaps and belly laughs, in line with what fans have come to expect of Leon Schuster over the last few decades. The tourists, foreigners and students who are attending class with Schuks are a motley crew of all kinds of characters from all over the world. For the most part, they are the typical representation of each country and have some hysterical one-liners and questions they pose to Schuks throughout the film. Some are naughty, but mostly all are nice and totally impressed with the wonderful Schuks and Shorty as they travel through the city to learn more about South Africa.
