(S’Dumo Mtshali)
Former Durban actor S’Dumo Mtshali appears in a new Mzansi
Magic homegrown drama series, Saints and
Sinners, which takes a look at the mix of crime and love and corruption and
freedom that has come in the wake of the birth of democracy in South Africa.
Saints and Sinners,
is a 13-part gripping family drama centred on the lives of two very different
families, living in the south of Johannesburg. Produced by Penguin Pictures, it
stars a top line-up of acting talent, including Nthati Moshesh, Tumisho Masha,
Nomphilo Gwala, S’dumo Mtshali, Tshepo Maseko, Warren Masemola, Sibulele
Gcilitshana, Yonda Thomas and Siyabonga Radebe.
Inspired by a quote by Nelson Mandela (“For to be free is
not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and
enhances the freedom of others”) Saints
and Sinners focuses on the new struggle faced by South Africans – an inner
quest that revolves around economic freedom, issues of identity, the fall of
traditional family structures, and lack of cohesion within the nucleus and
community at large.
The two families at the heart of Saints and Sinners
represent this struggle in such a compelling way that the series is likely to
become essential viewing alongside other homegrown Mzansi Magic dramas like Rockville.
Headed by matriarch Mamohato and her two attractive
daughters, Phindi and Boni, the Khumalo family lives in the upmarket suburb of
Bassonia. The other family is that of hard-working Lulama and Thabang Moloiswa
who live in a modest home in Diepkloof with their adored son, 12-year-old
Tshepiso.
Saints and Sinners
is running on Sundays on Mzansi Magic, channel 161.
