Zaxploitation refers to a category of exploitation films produced within the South African film industry or in collaboration with international producers. These films can be broadly categorized into three groups:

  • Domestic productions: Films created by South African filmmakers, often targeting both local and international audiences.
  • Co-productions: Films produced in collaboration with international partners, frequently leveraging South Africa as a cost-effective filming location.
  • "Darkest Africa" films: A subset of films perpetuating colonial-era stereotypes, depicting Africa as savage and exotic.
