“They were the cheapest thing online. There were no ID checks. I did what I felt was necessary.”Hollywood star Idris Elba has been allocated land in Zanzibar, a Tanzanian archipelago, to launch a film studio.
The British actor, who has roots in Sierra Leone and Ghana, has previously voiced his ambitions to develop Africa's expanding film industry.Roughly a year-and-a-half after discussing his plans with Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan, the authorities in the East African nation have given Elba the green light.The studio would be similar to any in “Hollywood, Nollywood or Bollywood" - and may give rise to “Zollywood”, Zanzibar's investment minister is quoted by local media as saying.
"I'm not sure how we will call it in Zanzibar, whether Zollywood or Zawood," Shariff Ali Shariff joked as he addressed industry figures at the Zanzibar International Film Festival on Thursday.President Samia spoke with Elba, best known for his roles in Luther and the Wire, about the studio in January 2023 at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
Following the discussions, the president's spokesperson said "if successful, the project will help not only Tanzania but also eastern and central Africa".
Zanzibar - a semi-autonomous region off the coast of Tanzania - is a tourism hotspot known for its striking white beaches.I love my child so much my heart aches without her.
Holly was caring, funny, energetic and at times outspoken.We have struggled to adjust to life without her, her siblings are still struggling so much with all of it.
As a mother who has lost a child, I would hate anyone else to go through the turmoil that our family has suffered and as such I have thrown myself into raising money for emergency bleed boxes.If we can help someone suffering a catastrophic bleed and stop another family going through what we have experienced makes it so worthwhile.
