Family Secrets is a South African television drama series which tells the story of Caesar Mokwena, Africa's wealthiest banker, and his ruthless rise to the top of global banking.
Caesar deals in lies, secrets and bodies, which he buries to protect his billions.
Power is a formidable and corruptive force, and it is a weapon that determines both the success and downfall of the characters that form the drama behind Family Secrets.
Caesar Mokwena, founder of South Africa's first black-owned bank, is a viper in the boardroom, but his serial womanising, dodgy business deals and his closeted addiction to alcohol make him unstable and as unpredictable as a viper ready to strike.
His wife Cleopatra may tolerate the pleasure he covets, but she is no walkover and will defend her family to her death.
Unfortunately, death is a secret that plagues the Mokwenas' past, as a suspicious accident comes back to jeopardise the opulent lives they've worked so hard to maintain.
The Family Secrets universe and characters were created and developed by Bongani Sibeko, inspired by an original story by Palesa Princess Marobe.
The series is produced by SAWITA (South African Women in Television Arts), with executive producers Pulane Shomang and Bongani Sibeko; and producer Obakeng Octavius Mogotsi.
The series director is Mosese Semenya and the head writer is Bongani Sibeko.
The theme song was composed by Ngwato Mapalakanye and sung by Rochelle Esmeralda de Lange.
