About the Show


Gqeberha: The Empire is a South African telenovela set in the Friendly City and revolving around the polygamous marriage of Luzuko, a successful businessman who is husband to three very different wives.

The series is about a man who seemingly has it all: family, love, money, power, glory and respect.

Luzuko Mxenge (Mbulelo Grootboom) is a successful businessman who is husband to three strong wives: Bulelwa (Zikhona Sodlaka), Zimkhita (Zandile Msutwana) and Nozuko (Kay Bikitsha).

What more could he want? Another wife, for starters.

His decision to expand the family soon threatens to bring out the bitterness his wives have long-suppressed, but also comes with complications no one could have predicted, endangering his relationship with his heir-apparent.

Will the Mxenge empire continue to thrive, or will in-fighting make it easier for enemies to infiltrate, bringing about the family's downfall?

The series follows themes of dynasty, family, love, betrayal, polygamy and jealousy.

The series stars Zikhona Sodlaka as Bulelwa, Tembinkosi Ngcukana as Thulani, Akhenime Mfenyana as Anathi, Kay Bikitsha as Nozuko, Anele Matoti as Msimelelo, Unati Guma as Funeka, with Zandile Msutwana as Zimkhita and Mbulelo Grootboom as Luzuko Mxenge.

Gqeberha: The Empire was created and executive produced by Gwydion Beynon and Phathushedzo Makwarela and is produced by Tshedza Pictures.

The series producer is Khobi Ledwaba and the directors are Krijay Govender, Andre Odendaal and Zimkhitha Maseko.

The head writers are Gwydion Beynon and Phathushedzo Makwarela, with a team of storyliners including Sthembile Mnisi, Thulani Cekiso and Fezekile Cokile.

Original music is by Brendan Jury and the theme song is by Bonga Percy Vilakazi and Sabelo W Zwane.
