SABC3’s riveting new local drama series, High Rollers, set against the backdrop of the glamorous and
backstabbing world of gambling, will feature top stars of stage and screen led
by Brumilda van Rensburg, Justin Strydom, Antony Coleman, Rolanda Marais,
Fezile Mpela, Xolile Tshabalala, Carmel Fisher, Carine Rous and Vilje Maritz.
This new 26-part drama series, the first to be commissioned by the
channel for a number of years, starts airing on April 2 at 20h30.
The series is an inter-generational family drama centring on three
“brothers”: the Machiavellian casino kingpin David (Coleman), his flawed and
volatile older brother Paul (Strydom) and David’s trusted right-hand man Thato
TT Mogale (Mpela) who are divided by their love for money, family and God. From
the boardroom to the bedroom, each man plays the hand dealt to him as they
navigate a precarious tightrope between loyalty and betrayal.
Each one-hour episode will delve into the world anchored by King’s
casino and five-star hotel complex, an upmarket establishment in Johannesburg’s
north-eastern suburbs.
