Pronk Primêr S1
Welcome to Pronk Primêr, a small-town primary school where former pupil Ada Benade gets a job as a maths teacher, working alongside some of her former schoolmates … and Principal Welgehawe, who’s still in his post after all these years.
Juanita de Villiers (Maryna in Reënboogrant and Jana in Getroud met Rugby) stars as Ada, with SAFTA-nominated screen legend Tobie Cronjé (Binnelanders, Hans Steek die Rubicon Oor) as Principal Welgehawe. The cast also includes the likes of Pietie Beyers (Eksie Perfeksie, Skemerson) and Solomon Cupido (Die Kwiksilwers, Pad na jou Hart).
Directed by Silwerskerm and SAFTA winner André Velts (Reënboogrant), Pronk Primêr is produced by Sonveldt Media, who won the 2024 SAFTA for Best Made For TV Movie for ‘n Tyd van Waterpere. SAFTA and Silwerskerm winner Desiré Gardner (Magda Louw) is the head writer.
