October 14, 2014Two Recently Released Commercials.  One is the first ever Star Trek fan film from the African continentand appears to mix English with a native African language, which has been identified by a person at the television station as Zulu with a single word in Sesotho.  I consider that, therefore, to be Zulu.  A prior theory was that it was two different South Africans alternatively as a mixture, kasi taal'.  It had been confirmed as not Xhosa or Sesotho. That's the first Star Trek Fan Film in Zulu, or any other native language of sub-Saharan Africa. 

From South Africa:  Vuzu amp -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1_WoFxfh0M (1:30).  Here it is with partial English subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kUnd1_VY2E (1:30) (eMBee, thank you).  It is a mixture of English and Zulu with a single word in Sesotho (identified by a person at the television station which is broadcasting this commercial in South Africa).   Thanks to onedotshort (the name she has asked I use for her here) for calling the television station in South Africa!  Thanks to Bob Trekfan for finding and reporting this film and attempting to identify the language!  Thanks also to onedotshort for her assistance!
Review: http://teeveetee.blogspot.de/2014/10/vuzu-amps-wonderful-adventures-of.html

they had 3 episodes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVsPtgTJxC0&index=1&list=PLPzADPauWt8oCnze3pkTuYdTxaKAkbvmk
and they were working on a remake of the first.
the episodes are:
E01 - Wie alles begann (How Everything Began)  Director's cut, released August 30, 2014:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypCZK35uTGU (24:47)  Another's Director's cut, WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES EMBEDDED released Sept. 12, 2014, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7GOuIm4XIY (24:46)  English language viewers:  Good story, but the subtitles are a bit quick at times.  This episode does not appear to be a free standing story with an ending.  You may want to wait until they subtitle the other two episodes.
