Genre: Drama
Drama series about a fiery and hot-headed 17-year-old talented netball captain who dreams of being noticed by the Gauteng provincial coach and playing for the national team.
Zenokuhle (Luyanda Zuma) is a 17-year-old high schooler and netball superstar with dreams of making her mark and getting picked to play for the Gauteng Provincial Netball Team.
However, getting there does not seem like it will be easy as she contends with challenges she has to tackle head on.
Through Zeno's story, we follow the talented teenager and how she and her peers navigate relationships with their parents, teachers, love interests, enemies and frenemies.
The series introduces Zano and her mother Thandiwe (Bukamina Cebekhulu), whom she feels is the only enemy of progress in her life and does not understand her netball needs.
This seems to be proven right when Thandiwe decides to uproot their lives and transfer her to a new school, in a new neighbourhood where she needs to start anew.
Moreover, she has to prove her skills by trying to lead a not-so-great team to the netball finals.
Unbeknownst to Zeno, the true impediment to fulfilling her dreams is her charming, lovable father whom she doesn't know has a serious gambling addiction that has led her mother to break her back, covering up for him out of love for her daughter.
She also has to face off with new schoolmates, some of whom are not exactly thrilled by her presence, plus a love interest set to shake her world even more.
The series finds out whether a mother's love can be strong enough to transform a teenager's self-perceptions and values, thereby changing the course of her future.
The cast includes Menzi Biyela as Zeno's father Mandla, Lerato Mokoka as Zeno's frenemy Ora, Nhlanhla Kunene and Thembsie Matu.

Ready Steady Cook South Africa
Channel: S3
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Food, Reality Competition
Take a "Red Tomato" and a "Green Pepper", split them into a Red Kitchen and a Green Kitchen, add a top chef on each side and pair them with an enthusiastic home cook who is ready to challenge the food maestro's creativity with a mystery bag of everyday ingredients.
Then, turn on the heat by setting the clock for a boiling hot 20-minute cook-off.
That's the simple recipe followed by Ready Steady Cook South Africa, hosted by Moshe Ndiki.
Based on the long-running BBC show, Ready Steady Cook South Africa is a reimagining of the SABC2 show that aired from 2003-2004.
In each of the episodes you will find a famous culinary star in the red kitchen and another one in the green kitchen, where they are tasked to create three mouthwatering dishes with the food items brought along by their Team Red Tomato or Team Green Pepper partner within 20 minutes.
Once the time has run out, the studio audience then votes to determine the episode's winning team.
Additionally, the two home cooks are related somehow - either family members, friends, or business partners from the same profession or even sharing a hobby.
During the cook-off, the audience learns more about their lives through their interaction with Moshe and the chefs.
The chefs who will show off their food-making skills include Wandile Mabaso, Neo Nontso, Fehmida Osman-Latib, Kamini Pather, Kelly Njokweni, Liziwe Matloha, Lorna Maseko, Lufuno Sinthumule, Mmule Setati and Nthi Ramaboa.
