Soft Life follows Owami, who enters into the secretive world of high-society companionship. Stream now, with new episodes every week.

In a bid to settle her mother’s rising medical bills, Owami Gqoji plunges into the secretive world of high-society companionship. Fearful that her new profession could shatter everything she holds dear, Owami must keep her dual life hidden.

Zizipho Buti stars alongside the likes of Mampho Brescia (Iris in Isibaya) who plays Zam, the owner of a business called NubiaBlaq which is a cover for her escort agency, The Girlfriend Experience (GFE). Zam is sophisticated yet strict, ruling her establishment with an iron fist. Katlego Lebogang (Spinners) plays Zinhle, the Queen Bee at GFE, who becomes a mentor to Owami. SAFTA winner Nambitha Mpumlwana (Saints & Sinners, Yizo Yizo, Tsotsi, The Lab) plays Judge Iris Makhaza, the overprotective mom of Owami’s boyfriend.

Created by Vusi Zion for Afriprime, the 13-episode drama is produced by Urban Brew Studios. SAFTA winners Nozipho Nkelemba (Gomora, Umakoti Wethu) and Nthabiseng Mokoena (Law, Love and Betrayal, The Wife) direct.
