Description


Straat (Street) is a South African, Afrikaans-language television drama series which revolves around the residents of a seemingly quiet, middle class cul-de-sac, each with their own story.

The series poses the questions: Do I really know what's going on in my street? And how well do I know my neighbours?

In Aarbei Street, which looks serene from the outside, each of the inhabitants have their own story.

Career criminal Anton Videns (Frank Opperman), big boss of a financial institution, and his partners are in deep trouble. A whistleblower is going to testify agains them, and they will do anything to stop him.

The whistleblower, an IT genius, lives in Aarbei Street under witness protection and the assumed name Robert Muller (Nico Panagio).

Zelda Postma (Amalia Uys) resides in the same dead-end street and is a bright attorney tasked with keeping Robert safe.

She's assisted by another neighbour, Potifar "Pote" Vorster (Morné Visser).

Pote is a retired policeman, and his wife, nurse Lorrie (Marisa Drummond), are the only other people in Aarbei Street who know Robert is under witness protection.

Trix Louw (Hélène Truter) is a sad widow and estate agent. Her son lives in Canada, and her dogs are the only source of joy and pleasure in her life.

Hannes Brümmer is Maxwell Smit, the local pharmacist who sells more than medicine.

He and his ditzy wife, Retha (Cintaine Schutte), live close to Jakkie van Tonder (Leandie du Randt) and Hendrikkie Fourie (Arno Meyer).

Jakkie, an orphan, has her own business installing home computer systems.

Nicole Holm is Vinkie Beerwinkel, an overbearing woman who will do anything in her power to build a security wall around Aarbei Street.

Deon Coetzee is her hen-pecked husband, Basie.

Wiseman Sithole and Edith Plaatjies are the Makebas, Xolani and Nyakallo; and Wilhelm van der Walt is Billy Vogel, a creepy photographer who will do anything for money.

Kate Normington, Josias Moleele and Kiroshan Naidoo play Anton Videns's crooked partners.

Kevin Smith, Melt Sieberhagen, Mandri Sutherland and Celeste Loots star in guest roles.

Straat was created and written by Paul C. Venter; it is produced by Wolflight Films, Roelof Storm and Louis du Preez.

The executive producers are Nomsa Philiso, Waldimar Pelser, Nicola van Niekerk and Lucia Meyer-Marais.

The director is Morné du Toit.

Original music is by Loki Rothman.
