The River
Everyone’s talking about The River, and you can’t afford to miss a thing. From Lindiwe’s evil antics to smart, tough Itu, The River is full of characters we love – and love to hate. The River is set in Pretoria and follows the lives of the Dlaminis and the Mokoenas, two families from different backgrounds who are brought together and divided by the discovery of a diamond in Cullinan, just a stone’s throw from the city.
The Herd
The pursuit of wealth and power can lead a man to sacrifice his soul. The Mthethwa family is close-knit, but they’re threatened by secrets and supernatural forces in this compelling, creepy drama. In the second season, we’ve been horrified by the lengths people will go to to get what they want – even dabbling in witchcraft and considering sacrifice.
The Queen
This juicy show follows the lives of two families involved in a life of crime and luxury. The two family leaders, Harriet and Gracious, are always at loggerheads with the community, the police and each other.
Isithembiso
Isithembiso is a youth drama that tells the story of two young people from rural SA trying to make it in the dazzling city of iGoli – but all that glitters is not gold.
Isibaya
In Thukela Valley, an old feud between two powerful families interferes in the lives of a loving couple. The bitter feud continues in the city of gold, where the Zungus seek to build their fortune. Can the couple’s love survive or will their families tear them apart? Winner of the 2018 Safta for Best TV Soapie.
