Ofuze

Channel: 1Magic (DStv 103)
TX Time: 19h30
Genre: Docu-Reality, Music

Ofuze

He's one of the foremost Maskandi artists, and he and his 1980s pop star-turned-pastor wife have been 'Couple Goals' before the hashtag even existed.

They are Bheki 'Ihhashi Elimhlophe' and Linah Ngcobo – SA entertainment titans whose children have also crafted careers in showbiz.

Now the Ngcobo family is giving us a front-row seat into their lives in Ofuze.

The series will show the family like you've never seen them, as the younger generation attempt to break free of the rules and restrictions set out to them by their parents.

Over the years, we've seen the Ngcobo clan grace our screens, but now that the kids are older it's clear all that glitters is not gold.

On the multigenerational Ofuze, we will see that while Mr. and Mrs. Ngcobo have carved out a path for themselves, it hasn't been a bed of roses for their four children, especially since their loving parents rule with an iron fist.

'Nepo babies' might be the hot topic in Hollywood, but to say it's been an easy path for the younger Ngcobo generation couldn't be further from the truth.

First up there is Nathi Ngcobo, the opinionated first-born son who is a father of four.

Keen to carve out his own path outside of the family business, we follow as he tries to run his family his own way.

The first-born daughter is actress and TV host Ntombi Mzolo, whose role in the family is that of mediator.

A mother and wife, she has been battling her own demons since the loss of two of her children.

Will she be able to catch the inner light she's been chasing?

Third-born Jabu is a father who has his own commitment issues – much to the horror of his traditional parents.

He wants to move out of home but refuses to get married, which is the condition placed on all Ngcobo children if they want to have their own space.

Then there is the last born, Vusiwe, whose megawatt smile hides a secret she's been keeping from almost everyone in the family.

In a long-term relationship with her partner, will he finally pop the question and therefore free her from the warm clutches of her parents – and will her double life catch up with her?

Ofuze is about a tightknit family navigating their own unique challenges of life under the spotlight.

Will the Ngcobo parents loosen their grip on their kin, or is freedom a dream the younger generation will continue to fight for?

Can their love overcome all challenges, or will personal dreams threaten the family legacy?

My Family 3

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 19h30
Genre: Comedy

My Family 3

Meet the Harpers, a prefectly normal family. Or are they?

Father Ben is a dentist who'd like to see his children move out of the house as soon as possible because all he wants is peace and quiet.

His eldest son Nick - who later on in the series does move out - is a complete idiot and a no-good who can't hold on to any of the various jobs he has.

Daughter Janey is very shallow and not very picky when it comes to boys while son Michael is way too smart for Ben and doesn't feel the need to communicate much with his father.

His curious wife Susan clearly makes all the decisions in the household.

Later on in the series Ben gets an assistant at work, goofy and naive Roger, and when Janey finally moves out, no-brainer Abi moves in, while Janey keeps visiting, sometimes bringing along her little son, Kenzo.

So much for Ben's peace and quiet.

In the Season 3 premiere, "Absent Vixen, Cheeky Monkey": With Janey going off to university, vacuum cleaning the house becomes an issue for everyone.
