Ubuthe Uzobuya

Made in South Africa

Ubuthe Uzobuya delves into the lives of couples torn apart when one partner abruptly disappears without explanation. All episodes are available to binge-watch.

Hosted by actor Tshepo Maseko, this Showmax Original series explores the heart-wrenching stories of those who were once deeply in love, only to be left in uncertainty.

Produced by Barkers Media, the creative minds behind Shebeen Queens, The Bala Family and How To Manifest A Man, the focus of the show is on tracking down the missing partner to uncover their reasons for leaving, culminating in an emotional reunion with the partner who reached out to the show.

In the final segment, the person who vanished must confront their past and decide whether to return to their former life or embrace the new one they’ve built - perhaps even starting a new family. Each episode promises to deliver powerful revelations and heartfelt moments.

All the episodes for Ubuthe Uzobuya are available to binge-watch.
