Mzansi Magic reveals a brand-new comedy drama series Fathers and Sons premiering Monday, 06 October at 20:00.
Meet Madimetja (played by Makwela Lekalakala), the original deadbeat dad turned comeback king (in his own mind), who crashes into his son Khutso’s life like a kasi taxi with no brakes.
Khutso (played by Paul Maila), a control-freak single Dad, is doing his best to raise his teenage son Gopolang (played by Omhle Tshabalala) with military precision until Madimetja shows up with nothing but a suitcase full of regrets and wild schemes.
Meanwhile, Gopolang, caught between his dad’s rules and his grandfather’s chaos, just wants to vibe and survive!
Add a mischievous best friend from next door and a secret “situationship”…you’ve got a recipe for disaster plus a whole lot of laughs. Joining the main cast to bring this hilarious chaos to life are other fan-favourites including Sana Mchunu (Gomora), Londeka Sishi (Adulting), Linda Sokhulu (Unmarried) and Thabo Malema.
Each 22-minute episode is a whirlwind of second chances, fatherhood fails, teenage troubles and cultural clashes. From botched family dinners to TikTok disasters, the Mphahlele men stumble their way towards something that might just resemble a family…if they don’t kill each other first.
Fathers and Sons is a hilarious, heartfelt reminder that despite the embarrassing dynamics a family might find themselves in, it is fun, loud and definitely where love lives. So get ready for a laugh-out-loud, heart-tugging and sometimes eyebrow-raising ride through the lives of three generations of Mphahlele men trying (and failing) to live in harmony under one roof.
Fathers and Sons premieres Monday, 06 October at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161).
