About Call to the Dark

Dingane Luthuli, a freshly unemployed 20-something in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, receives a box in the mail that was kept by his late father. Idle and intrigued, he embarks on a project to catalogue the contents of the box, but quickly gets more than he bargained for. Haunting secrets await in the writings and belongings of his father, and each new discovery pulls Dingane closer to the truth - to the sinister shadows that lurk within the city he calls home."Call to the Dark" is a supernatural horror fiction podcast created, written, and directed by Sandile Dlamini - told through short stories and epistolary pieces, and largely inspired by Southern African folktales and myths. Premieres 6 April 2025, with episodes releasing Sundays at 6PM SAST.
