JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A new porn landscape is emerging in Africa that could be the next big opportunity for adult producers.
According to Sabotage Times, a small but growing group of independent producers is paving the way for new films and talent.
Responding to a lack of homegrown porn from online communities, the region’s first big porn title, “Mapona Vol: 1” was released in Johannesburg in 2010.
The hour-long title from studio Sondeza, according to co-producer Tau Morena, took two years to produce with help from local crowd sourcing and sold out in Johannesburg licensed adult stores within two weeks.
But the movie’s success was quickly met with pirated copies at a fraction of the price — a caveat for would-be producers seeking to break the new market.
