Drama with a touch of the supernatural makes The Herd a must-watch. Nominated for five SAFTAs this year, including Best Drama, The Herd is about Bheki (Sello Maake Ka-Ncube in a SAFTA-nominated role), who made his fortune with the help of the witch Ma’Mngadi (Winnie Ntshaba) – at an unbearable price.

Ma’Mngadi’s troubles are far from over, and her children have some impossible choices to make to protect their father’s legacy, their land and their wealth.
