Tali’s Joburg Diary
Made in South Africa

What is happening?! Tali and her family are moving to Joburg! After falling on hard times because of lockdown, the Shapiro-Nudelmans are forced to take up Tali’s dad’s offer of a bailout. His only condition? Yes, babes, Tali is coming home. Economy class. What. The. Actual.
Tali’s Joburg Diary is the hilarious third instalment of the first-ever Showmax Original – named SA’s Best Comedy for two seasons in a row at the SAFTAs. Binge it all, only on Showmax.
