Laundry (Zulu: Uhlanjululo) is a 2025 drama film written and directed by Zamo Mkhwanazi in her debut feature. The film depicts a young man's aspirations as a musician in apartheid South Africa, clashing with preserving his family's laundry business amid intensifying racial discrimination against Black entrepreneurs.

The international co-production between Switzerland, and South Africa, had its world premiere on 5 September 2025 in the Discovery section at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. It was also selected at the 41st Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where it closed the festival on February 12, 2026.
