LOCALS HIGHLY ANTICIPATING EKHAYA SERIES

 MBABANE – Adding flavour to local content. Local viewers of the nation’s leading channel, Eswatini TV have expressed their excitement about the upcoming telenovela titled Ekhaya.

The production revealed last week Wednesday that the series would make its debut on the channel on June 2, 2020.
Much to the anticipation of local viewers, the series has been running adverts that it would be coming soon to television. The drama series, set against the backdrop of a rural community beset with challenges that set a hotshot lawyer on a journey to restore order, is Eswatini Television’s first commissioned drama series and premieres next month.

Response

‘Ekhaya’ features notable local actors with celebrated seasoned actor Thembinkosi Mthethwa in the leading role as lawyer Mandla Manyatsi.
The nation will also witness other veteran actors such as Nqaba Tsela of ‘Mad Buddies’, Fikile Ngobese from ‘Bloodline’, Mathokoza Sibiya and Gina Khumalo of ‘Insika’ in action.

The series has received a resounding response from the public.
While most people were praising the job well executed by the production team, some extended their worry on how they would access the series since they did not have the Eswatini TV channel, which is the station the series will be airing on.

Shared on the page’s social media, the production team said the series promised to keep local viewers entertained while also getting to understand the nuances of Eswatini culture.

The synopsis of the story is that the leading role of Manyatsi is trapped between two worlds which are the modern and the traditional and he is constantly trying to harmonise the two.

Eswatini TV’s Communications and Brand Officer Celiwe Dlamini confirmed that the channel commissioned Bumba Media, a local TV and film production house with the view of bringing its audiences something new on the local filmmaking scene.
