Umkhokha S1
The Mzansi Magic drama Umkhokha follows the bitter feud between two families vying for control of a church, Ithempeli Lenkosi, after the untimely death of its leader.
Deli Malinga (The Queen, Generations) stars as the formidable MaMzobe, a woman determined to hang on to her family’s legacy at any cost. Avanti Award winner S’Thandiwe Kgoroge (Lithapo, Impilo: The Scam, Yizo Yizo) co-stars as MaNzimande, along with triple SAFTA winner Linda Sokhulu (Still Breathing, Sokhulu and Partners II), Nay Maps (Blessers, Uzalo, Isibaya), Sibongile Ngubane (Uzalo, Isibaya), Kwezi Ndlovu (Housekeepers, The Herd, Isithembiso) and Hope Mbhele (No Love Lost).
In his best of 2021 roundup, IOL’s Buhle Mbonambi named Umkhokha “one of the best dramas to come out of SA in a long time… an intriguing must watch… It is the writing and performances, especially by Deli Malinga, Sthandiwe Kgoroge and Nay Maps, that have made Umkhokha one of the most exciting dramas of the year.”
