Ekhaya Backpackers S1
A dysfunctional and seemingly unqualified family turns their home into a backpackers to pay off their late mother’s debt to keep the family house or lose it to a loan shark.
Made up of two very different brothers, a crazy baby mama, an inappropriate grandmother and an uncle who loves the bottle, there is never a dull moment in the Mthembu household.
The comedy series reunites Kwenzo Ngcobo and Abdul Khoza (The Wife) alongside comedian and radio jock Felix Hlophe, Eve Rasimeni, Thobani Mbhele, Florence Mokgatsi (Isibaya) and Monnye Kunupi.
