Thokoza Munt'wam

Have you ever wondered how ancestral callings and matters of the heart coexist?

In Thokoza Munt'wam there are three couples each week - each unique in their dynamics, challenges and love languages.

These couples are on the ultimate quest: to balance the spiritual and physical worlds.

They are driven by love, but their unique spiritual journeys shape their relationships in ways most of us might never understand.

The burning question is: can their love survive their ancestral callings?

Zukiswa Vutela and Macdonald Mailula are known as Ndlovulati & Mcool Chuene who will give you a whole new perspective on age.

They have to deal with age differences and societal pressures to confronting personal and collective pasts.

Khanyisile Mnguni and Zanele Mnguni, also known as Slay & Zee, are two women, both from Christian backgrounds, battling issues of identity, spirituality and legacy.

What does it mean to stand by your partner when their beliefs are in complete contrast to yours?

Kamogelo Sello and Sinoyolo Mbotshwa are also known as Mercedes & Yolo.

Gogo Mercedes saw Yolo in a dream and reached out via Facebook. Their young love is loaded with unique challenges, but they're determined to navigate it all.

Asian Provocateur

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Travel, Reality

Asian Provocateur

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan is sent by his mother on a ramshackle odyssey around his parents' homeland of Sri Lanka in an attempt to connect him with his roots.

Romesh knows nothing about his cultural heritage and can't speak Tamil, so what could possibly go wrong?

Romesh considers himself British through and through.

He grew up in Horsham, doesn't speak a word of Tamil, doesn't know any of his relatives, has no idea about his cultural heritage and has almost zero desire to go to Sri Lanka.

Like thousands of other British children of immigrants, he knows very little about the land where his parents came from.

As his mother Shanthi says - he's a coconut. Sri Lankan on the outside but British on the inside.

Now Shanthi wants her son to connect to his roots - so she has decided to change all that by sending Romesh on an odyssey around the motherland.

Not that he's that happy about it.

Romesh is sent to receive a traditional blessing in Kegalle, only to discover after having his head rubbed with a chicken that it might actually have more in common with black magic than the traditional Hindu ceremony he thinks his mother had in mind.

He goes to meet his Uncle Thiru, who may or may not be his uncle, and may or may not be related to him at all... in fact what Thiru seems more interested in is getting Romesh to invest in the elephant poo paper factory than in getting to know him.

After attempting a potentially character building stint of stilt fishing, Romesh sets up an activity of his own... going rogue in the capital Colombo to perform with local rap act MBZ.

Genre: Docu-Reality

OmmiGhellie 2

Our stories. Our people's national treasures. Our heritage. That's what it's all about for Frazer Barry.

Frazer has long been an advocate of South Africa and our heritage, and he'll do everything in his power to preserve it.

He realised how important it is to safeguard rich traditions like the rieldans.

The people who wrote the music, developed the choreography and made the blikviole [tin fiddles], are getting older.

If a younger generation doesn't step up now to protect it, this culture may disappear and be lost forever.

The team travels from the Northern Cape to the West Coast in search of remarkable people and their stories.
 

Dynasty 3

Channel: S3
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Soapie, Drama

Dynasty 3

As Dynasty hurtles into its third season, the Carrington family will face the unknown on all fronts.

Dealing with the fallout from the startling second season finale, Fallon is surrounded by a host of rivals looking to destroy her, the most wicked of which is her own brother, Adam, who takes the idea of sibling rivalry to a whole new level of crazy.

At the same time, Fallon and Liam attempt to keep their romance sane, but secrets and skeletons from her closet will make that more difficult than ever.

And after a year of "me" time, Blake will jump back in the game, ruthlessly determined to reclaim what's rightfully his: the family company Fallon sold out from under him.

And with the help of Cristal, he's certain nothing can stop him.

Only problem is that the newest Colby in town, Blake's half-sister Dominique, is here to stay and she isn't backing down from a fight over what's rightfully hers, either.

Meanwhile, Sammy Jo enters an exhilarating phase of the upper-class life, but amongst the thrills of his newfound freedom, there will be dangers lurking.

Plus, who knows what faces – new and old, friendly and unfriendly - will pop up.

If we know anything by this point in the series, it's that this fractured family will have to find a way to come together if they are to claw their way back to the top of the billionaire mountain.

In the Season 3 premiere, "Guilt Trip to Alaska": On the eve of the Carrington Foundation Fundraiser, drama immediately floods the scene as bodies are pulled from the lake on the Carrington Estate.

As reporters and detectives move in, Blake, Fallon, Cristal, Adam and Anders realise they need to get their stories straight very quickly.

Dominique Deveraux focuses on her missing son, while Michael Culhane tries to prove that he's been framed... from behind bars.

Sam plays comforting friend to both Fallon and Kirby as he continues to work on the hotel.

Fallon visits a comatose Liam in the hospital and finds herself haunted by Trixie's death in unexpected ways.

Kirby visits Culhane in the slammer and returns to Carrington Manor to find she is no longer welcome.

Dominique tries to steal the spotlight at the Fundraiser, Fallon becomes charitable, and Blake loses something incredibly valuable.

Nigella: Cook, Eat, Repeat

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 17h30
Genre: Food

Nigella: Cook, Eat, Repeat

In this series Nigella will share the rhythms and rituals of her kitchen through a multitude of delicious new recipes that make the most of her favourite ingredients.

Nigella gets to the heart of how food is woven into our everyday lives and the connection it provides.

Along the way, she'll offer up mouth-watering dishes that range from the indulgent chocolate peanut butter cake, to the rich luxurious crab mac'n'cheese, and the life-affirming fear free fish stew - all beautifully shot to bring a weekly serving of comfort and cheer into our lives.

During the series, Nigella will spend time explaining where she finds inspiration for her recipes, from delving into her collection of vintage cookbooks to exchanges of ideas on social media.

In the series premiere: Nigella starts with her take on the bhorta, a dish of fried and mashed vegetables favoured in the Indian subcontinent, to which she introduces a very British - but very familiar - ingredient.

The surprises don't stop there.

After creating a warm, spicy and aromatic dish of lamb shanks with wide noodles, Nigella turns her attention to very ripe bananas, which she uses to make a gloriously rich and gooey chocolate tahini pudding.

She then goes on to create a warming curry with a surprising ingredient.

Urgh that Dr. Down Below is next level gross. Totally exploitative!! 

It reminds me of the abuse I experienced at an allergy clinic a couple of years ago. I had an allergic skin reaction on my arms, legs and torso and the doctor - a woman - went on about how people get the same reaction on their genitals. There was no reason for her to mention it in the context of my condition and the way she said it was as if it thrilled her.
