Straat S1
How well do you really know your neighbours?
The residents of Aarbei Straat are debating whether to build a wall around them to keep the danger out. Little do they know that a whistleblower in witness protection has just moved in.
Straat’s all-star cast includes SAFTA winners Morné Visser (Dis Ek, Anna) and Frank Opperman (Nêrens, Noord-Kaap, Trompoppie), SAFTA nominees Nico Panagio (Survivor SA) and Marisa Drummond (Getroud met Rugby, Elke Skewe Pot), and 2024 Silwerskerm nominee Amalia Uys (Die Byl).
Filmed in Cape Town, the kykNET series is written by Paul C Venter (Arende, Torings, Mooiweer en Warm) and directed by Silwerskerm winner Morné du Toit (Lioness, Vuil Wasgoed).
