--

ICALA' PLOT AND CAST Icala follows the story of a man, reckless and self-centered, who thinks his death-end is near. As a result, he spills the beans, confessing to his loving, revenge-driven wife about the child he fathered with her best friend.
--
Plot twist? He does not die. His wife, instead of ending their marriage, decides to craft her own spine-chilling revenge on both the offenders.
Written by Chris Q Radebe (creator of Isifiso) and produced by Match Point, viewers will also see familiar faces like Sannah Mchunu (from Gomora), Kennedy Stab (Shaka iLembe), Velile Makhoba (Gomora) and meet new talent Athie Cwele.
Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net says, Our Mzansi Magic Mondays are already bursting with local gems. But with Icala, expect an overload of emotions. A soul-stirring story, blended with some laughs, it's real, it's raw, and trust us, you don't want to miss this rollercoaster.
