Set against the backdrop of the taxi industry, and in the Thukela Valley
in Kwa-Zulu Natal, a century- old feud between two powerful families
has already seen the central character, Mpiyakhe Zungu (Siyabonga Twala)
– a high profile taxi boss, savvy political player and leader – die in a
fatal accident, only to return as a zombie.
Mzansi Magic’s drama telenovela show, Isibaya, has proved such a massive hit since it first came out in March 2013. There's no doubt that it has been one of the most watched local shows, proving that local can definately be lekker.
There had been some rumours lurking suggesting that, arguably, South Africa's most talked about show was coming to an end this month. But, to our delight, Mzansi Magic has cleared the rumours by releasing a statement saying that Isibaya has been turned into a soapie.
“The response to Isibaya has been fantastic,” comments Yolisa Phahle, Channel Director of M-Net’s general entertainment channels.
From March 17th 2014, Isibaya will broadcast five days a week on Mzansi Magic, in the primetime slot of 20h30.
For Isibaya’s devotees, the lives of the Zungu and the Ndlovu families has provided a narrative arc filled with everything unmissable television should have – villains, rivalry, power, money, and impossible love.
