American actor Tom Cruise is heading to South Africa to shoot Mission Impossible 8 which is set to be released on 28 June 2024.

TOM CRUISE TO SHOOT IN SOUTH AFRICA 

The Weekend Argus reported that Mission Impossible 8, starring Tom Cruise is expected to film in South Africa. The latest instalment of the popular movie franchise will be filmed in Durban and Cape Town. Sources close to the production team revealed that Cruise and other cast members will hit South African soil and begin filming in Durban in a few months’ time.

“We are set to be in Durban for three months as from 6 February for Mission Impossible and possibly a week in Cape Town,” said a source to the publication.

This is believed to boost tourism in the country.

“We’re delighted to see recovery in our visitor economy, with domestic and international tourists injecting some sorely needed capital into the city,” said Enver Duminy, CEO of Cape Town Tourism to the publication.

“We do understand that recovery will take a little longer than we had hoped but we are optimistic that this trend towards recovery continues in February. As we enter our ‘second’ peak season. While the numbers look better, we need sustained tourism to really impact our local small business sector and start turning the devastating blows dealt by Omicron-linked travel bans around,” he continued.
