Saturday nights on Mzansi Magic are dedicated to local films, and the November selection takes things up a notch, with a terrific mix of psychological thrillers and dark humor.
Mzansi Originals in November continue to make the 20h30 slot the home of outstanding storytelling, keeping viewers riveted to their televisions at the end of a hard week.
The films, which empower smaller production companies and feature a plethora of up-and-coming talent, also feature some familiar faces, such as Isibaya star Muzi Mthabela, screen legend Magic Hlatshwayo, fan favorite Slindile Nodangala, Black Sails star Zethu Dlomo Mphahlele, singer and actor Zamo Dlamini, reality star Mpumi Ranaka, and Isibaya’s Amin
