Mzansi Magic is introducing another action-packed thrilling drama which will debut on Monday 5 July.
According to Mzansi Magic, the show is about an ill-treated makoti called Nqobile from the Nkosi family. Nqobile will outsmart her abusive husband and take over his empire.
Nomsa Philiso, the director of local entertainment channels at M-Net, said:
“The fact that this riveting series mirrors real-life and real-time scenarios such as the battle between e-hailing services and traditional meter taxis while also exploring issues such as gender-based violence, shows synchrony between Mzansi Magic content and relevant, real-life events. This is something we are excited about at the channel.”
‘NQOBILE’ PLOT
Viewers will get to see Nqobile in a new position of power, thrust into a male-dominated industry. The show will reveal everything she must do to negotiate her freedom, maintain respect, and thrive in the industry.
She will transform the empire into a women-led e-hailing service, while indirectly declaring war against her husband. The show unfolds in the streets of Leondale.
