Kompleks 2Premiere date: Friday 5 October at 18h00
In this second series of
Kompleks, an edgy yet 'family-friendly' sketch-comedy show, new inhabitants move into homes on the golf estate to join Season 1 characters. Here the trials and triumphs of South Africans are documented with a sense of comic irony and satire.
Every sketch in each episode is self-contained, bound together by a common theme/running thread through an episode. Some of the themes we explore are land claims, rules and regulations, crime and security, golf days, addictions and more.
Each episode also ends in a specially created “Afrikaanse Treffer” music video… (you might recognize some of the songs - portrayed in a ‘Kompleks-way”.

This documentary is in two parts: the first on the 18th and the second on 25 October)
No-one is safe. It cannot be seen, and it cannot be avoided. It doesn't target the weak - it targets everyone. There's a new killer on the loose - and millions could die. Using real and constructed footage in a mix of fact and drama, Horizon tells the true story of the world's fight to save its people from the biggest threat to life in a generation.
Starting in the present and depicting a possible future scenario as described by government contingency plans, the science of the flu pandemic is revealed. The programme also brings to life the harrowing experience of living through 'Pandemic 2007' - seen through the eyes of scientists, government ministers, the media and the public.
