INSIDE MZANSI MAGIC'S ISIFISO' Shirley Adonisi who is the director of local entertainment channels revealed in an interview with Sowetan that she trusts the show will resonate with viewers.
Monday nights on Mzansi Magic are known and loved for bringing thrilling dramas that keep viewers intrigued, week after week. We're glad to keep this slot dynamic and of a high standard, and Isifiso is the latest show that we trust will resonate with our viewers.
It's fantastic that DStv Compact subscribers will get in on the action from the get-go.
We're bringing new shows that feature known faces while also unearthing new talent - it's a good balance of keeping actors' careers growing and opening up the industry, all while carrying on with our mission as Africa's best storyteller.
