It's produced by JiK’iZinto, a youth-orientated local movement that's funded by an international non-profit organisation called Girl Effect.

The synopsis:

Set in Soshanguve, Mabopane, DiChipi follows three unlikely friends who rely on each other after a chaotic night that places the future of their community centre in jeopardy.

This pivotal event thrusts them into a journey of self-discovery and collective and individual growth as they strive to save the centre from closure, caused by their actions.

As they navigate the challenges of youth, the trio explore mental health, sex, and economic independence, all while managing family and academic pressures alongside complex relationship dynamics.

Their deepest fear is not just losing the centre, but also failing to recognise and realise their dreams.

Through their respective love for music, comedy, and MMA fighting, they draw strength and shape their identities in the world.
