We all wish we had a rich aunt who left us a sizable family inheritance so we can get the financial boost we need to finally make ends meet - or simply level up and live comfortably for the rest of our lives.
This series follows the lives of South Africans who are surprised by the fact that they have an unclaimed inheritance.
The show's premise is created on the fact that every year many South Africans pass on, leaving their loved ones with the gift of an inheritance, but every year many South Africans miss their blessings and never receive that money.
This may be due to incorrect personal details (where their information was either wrongly logged or not updated) or the beneficiary is a minor at the time of death, resulting in payment where the money is held by the Guardian's Fund.
Others don't receive their funds for sneakier reasons, such as lack of transparency between family members.
The show traces the relationship between the family and the deceased, while sharing the beneficiary's healing process.
Each episode culminates with their reaction during the moment of truth when the big surprise is revealed: that they will be receiving an inheritance.
Unefa! is hosted by Motlatsi Mafatshe.
Season 2 also starts a run on Mzansi Magic on Wednesday 20 July.
In the Season 2 premiere: Hope lost both her parents by the age of five.
