Last year, it was announced that e.tv would be bidding farewell to the medical drama Durban Gen after 2 seasons. Not long ago, it was reported that Imbewu and Isono would be following the drama in the second quarter of the year.
After months of anticipation as to what would await the future of these timeslots on the channel. eMedia Investments unveiled a brand new local drama Nikiwe which is set to replace Durban Gen from Monday 24 April in the same timeslot, 18:30.
The series follows the lives of the Radebe family, witnessing the rise and fall of a family empire based in the surrounds of Diepkloof Extension, Pimville and Orlando, Soweto.
It's executively produced by Thomas Gumede and Lungile Radu for Parental Advisory Productions, creators of game shows Uyang'thanda Na? and Perfect Match, and the Mzansi Magic drama series Abomama. Thomas Gumede also serves as director.
In a statement with e.tv Executive Producer Mark Madai:
“Exciting times are ahead of us, as a channel we fell in love with this story concept because it also follows the lives of the youth, we’ve explored all possible dilemmas that this market would go through and translated them to screen, giving viewers a product that they’ll resonate with, night in, night out."
Ahead of its debut, e.tv will debut a trailer for the show on Friday, 24 March at 10:00 click here
