Intonga is an isiXhosa word for combat involving sticks and when done to perfection it can be a fun exercise to watch.

Well, not in this movie. It may be called Intonga, but it is not about stick-fighting, but boxing.

The stick-fighting scenes constitute about 5 percent of the entire movie and the rest is about boxing and a little bit of teenage romance.

The story is about young stick-fighting Siviwe (Ntantiso), who has to deal with relocating from rural Fort Beaufort to Mdatsane. 

Apart from having to deal with losing his father, Siviwe has to avoid the resident bully and boxing champ, Knuckles (Mkile),who is always looking for a reason to fight?.

Intonga is an Eastern Cape movie, one of the interesting local movie Written and directed by first-time writer/director JJ van Rensburg.
