HD Plus Creations would like to inform the general public that it will premiere Apongozi television series on the 2nd December this year 2022. Apongozi television series season 1 is a dedication to the celebrated icon Late Maria Chidzanja Nkhoma who plays the lead role in Season 1.
As producers, we are focused on ensuring that the series will be available to all audiences especially our local Malawian audience.
However, we would like to highlight that there are pending agreements from local content distributors that will be broadcasting the series and announcements will be made once these agreements are finalized.
On the same note, we would urge organizations and individuals that would like to support this initiative to make contact with HD Plus Creations through our marketing & communications department.
In order to expand his knowledge of film production, Our Creative Director Hastings was on site with the celebrated film-making company Home Box Office, popularly known as HBO. Golosi spent 2 weeks with film experts on set and experienced the making of The Sex Lives of College Girls. The Sex Lives of College Girls is an American teen comedy-drama streaming television series created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble that premiered on HBO Max on November 18, 2021
It was like his American dream coming true when he found himself among a few young African leaders flying to America for a Mandela Washington Alumni Enrichment Institute program sponsored by the United States of America.
After his return, Golosi revealed that the knowledge he gained from the global film producers will be reflected in future projects in which he may participate. “It was a great experience to be on set with the global movie makers, looking at how our industry is taking shape. “I am certain that the knowledge I have gained during my stay in the United States will be of greater benefit to the country and our burgeoning film industry,” Golosi said.
“Just being on set with these professionals simply gets your mind to start thinking fast because they are cautious with time management. We will emulate that spirit on all the sets I will guide because, as Malawians, we don’t take time seriously. Plus, I have also gained very important networks that we will need as a small industry to go broader,” he further added.
He is a local film producer behind the films Fatsani-Tale of Survival, the web series Nyambo, and together with HD Plus Creations produced short and documentary films about poverty reduction, girl child empowerment, entrepreneurship, sustainable development goals (SDGs) and climate change.
This is how a small idea that started with two young creatives in a dorm room shooting music videos has become a renowned Media Agency brand that has done work for some of the biggest brands in Southern Africa including UN Agencies, Standard Bank, Airtel, TNM, Save The Children, GIZ, Millenium Challenge Account and many more. It is a testament to the age old saying that “Team work, makes the dream work”
Weddings are a special occasion; it is a memorable event, and you need proper videography and photography to capture it forever. This is why hiring a wedding video company is a very big deal as a substandard video company can ruin your wedding video and make you lose the chance of capturing the most important day of your life.
In a drive to continue supporting content creators and creatives, HD Plus Creations sponsored two of the most highly anticipated events of the past weekend. With both events happening in Lilongwe, the media production and communications agency supported Piksy’s Mtunda album launch that took place at Bingu International Convention on Friday, 1st July 2022, and Nya uyu’s Vilekeke Night of laughter that took place at Sunbird Lilongwe Hotel on the night of Saturday, 2nd July 2022.
For both events, HD Plus Creations supported through the provision high quality video production and photography services which were used for the promotion and marketing of both events as well as photography coverage at the Piksy Mtunda Album launch. Speaking on behalf of the company, Projects manager Sam Kabambe commented that this is simply the start as the company looks for more ways to empower youths that are doing great things in the country by providing them with access to high quality production and personnel for their audio visual needs. “We have just started and we would like to take a bigger part in similar events in the future, this is one of the ways in which we can give back to Malawians that have stayed loyal to our services” Kabambe said.
Both Mtunda Album Launch and Vilekeke night saw thousands patronizing the events which were highly entertaining and professionally produced. The Mtunda album launch treated patrons to performances from big brand artists such as Faith Mussa, Kell Kay, Leslie, Driemo and the man of the moment himself, Piksy. Meanwhile South African based Botswana comedian William Last was the main act at Vilekeke night supported by several Zambian comedians including the celebrated Vubwi who has also received a lot of praise for her masterpiece performance.
HD Plus creations is a youth-led communications agency that specializes in the production of audiovisual content for individuals, corporates and non-governmental organizations with a clientele focused in the Southern African Region.
After every first six months of a year our company holds a mid-year review that is attended by our employees both from our subsidiary Studio Plus and our main headquarters which is situated in Lilongwe area 47 sector 1.
This year we were looking at how we can improve our services to reach the demand that is continuously growing and how we can digitalize our services to meet the ever growing digitalization, on several occasions we’ve had meetings about that and implemented some of the ideas before.

A Thrilling, Captivating and Entertaining Web and TV Series from PSI Malawi, coming to your screens soon. In a bid to maximize awareness of sexual reproductive health issues, PSI Malawi has engaged HD Plus Creations in the production of season 2 of the thrilling drama series. This is with the background that Tsogolo Langa conducted research to help them understand the Malawian youth and collected data from over 800 points and interacted with adolescents and youth, parents, community influencers and service providers. This was followed by a user-centred design workshop where Youth from eight districts were brought together with parents, providers, community leaders and other partners from the Ministry of Health and implementing partners to synthesize insights and develop prototypes. The prototypes were pre-tested in various districts.
Producer Hastings Golosi on set with actors
Tsogolo Langa’s video series is designed to target boys and girls (15-19 years) with information that is packaged in an exciting manner for them, using humour and drama in series format. The videos depict typical scenarios and conversations that boys have in regards to sex and contraception.
Comedian Tame Mwawa takes center stage
To help bring life to the TV series, HDPlus Creations has re-engaged seasoned comedian Tame Mwawa popular known as Mnyanganya for the second season which sees him playing an important role that brings out the satire in the TV series. He was one of the outstanding characters in season one and he surely will not disappoint in season two.
Nelissa Phiri who plays Chikondi in the series played a supporting role in season one. She however rises to a leading role in season two, where she ably depicts her strong will as a young girl who does not give in to all misleading persuasions of her boyfriend Mavuto, a role played by upcoming actor Robert Kalemba, which rubber stamps her brevity as a role model to adolescent and young girls.

Tsogolo Langa is a program that is implemented by the Population Services International (PSI) Malawi with support from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
