Experience Classic Movies at Ster-Kinekor’s Throwback Cinema

As the new year starts, and the tricky act of juggling the ‘Janu-worry’ budget comes into play, everyone is looking for a bargain to get them through the month. With Ster-Kinekor’s Throwback Cinema promotion continuing through January and into February 2025, you get to enjoy some real cinema classics at the classic price of just R50 per ticket.

“We’ve secured some more iconic movie titles for the whole family to enjoy, as we all ease ourselves into another new year. These include Interstellar, which releases on Friday 03 January, followed by Groundhog Day from 10 January. The Pursuit of Happyness fills the big screen from 17 January with No Country for Old Men releasing the following week, and The Truman Show on 31 January. The much-loved film, 10 Things I Hate About You, sees us survive and exit January, with its release on 07 February,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor.

“Bringing back popular movie titles from years gone by is proving to be a popular must-see-again option for our big screen fans and, with the discounted ticket price for these Throwback Cinema titles, what’s not to love? Continuing this popular promotion, January’s line-up spans a number of movie genres, ensuring there is something for everyone to watch during the holiday period, either as repeat viewing or for a first-time big screen experience.”

Getting into the spirit of the new year, Ster-Kinekor’s Throwback Cinema line-up includes some all-time favourites. And even though budgets might be tight, the affordable price gives you the ticket to revisit iconic movies or to discover them for the first time on the big screen.

Transform Your Life: Enter Mrs South Africa 2025

“I approached the competition expecting a pageant. I walked out with an MBA in life,” says Erin-Jane Miller, the reigning Mrs South Africa. Like thousands before her, Miller discovered that behind the glamour of the crown lies an intensive leadership and women’s empowerment programme that has helped launch successful entrepreneurs, community leaders, and global changemakers.

As entries open for 2025, Mrs South Africa, powered by headline sponsor iME, is now seeking its next cohort of ambitious women ready to transform their lives and communities, and to become the best versions of themselves.

CEO Joani Jacobs is optimistic for the coming year, revealing that applications for the previous season shattered all former records. “The 2024 season showcased the talent of our local women on a scale rarely seen in South Africa, and given its success, we feel confident that the coming year will be our most exciting and popular yet, raising the competition’s standard even higher.”

“But what matters most is the impact the programme has on our participants, and what they’re able to achieve after taking part. The Class of 2024 experienced some phenomenal accomplishments, including collectively raising over R400 000 for charity – in addition to a number of other personal success stories.

The Mrs South Africa programme aims to prepare contestants for a life of purpose-driven success and self-empowerment, equipping participants with valuable life skills such as leadership development, financial management, effective communication, and personal branding.

Tyla – Saturday, 18 January 2025

Grammy-winning South African superstar Tyla’s December tour of her home country proved to be the hottest show at Time Square this month, that she grabbed the chance to perform again as soon as Saturday, 18 January 2025.

Tyla was thrilled with the response from fellow South Africans and said: Everything that’s happening has surpassed anything I could have dreamt of. African music is going global, and I’m so blessed to be one of the artists pushing the culture. I’ve been working on my sound for two years now, and I’m so ready for the world to hear it.”

Tyla is best known for her mega-hit Water, which won her the inaugural Best African Music Performance award at the Grammys, and has lit up charts all around the work, including in the important US market, where it reached #7 on the Billboard US Hot 100, and #1 on the Billboard Afrobeats Chart, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart, Hot R&B Songs Chart and Adult R&B Airplay Charts. Water is the first solo song in history to spend an entire year at #1 on the Billboard US Afrobeats song charts for 52 weeks.

NME calls Tyla, “South Africa’s brightest new star.” Rolling Stone has christened her “The perfect Amapiano ambassador.” Pitchfork’s review of her album states: “The South African singer’s star-making debut is a lithe, contemporary take on pop-R&B that pulses with the log-drum heartbeat of Amapiano.”
