Season 1


How to Manifest a Man is a South African television drama series which revolves around a woman in a loveless marriage who decides to reshape her spouse into the ideal partner when he suffers memory loss.

The series poses the question: can you find the perfect man, or do you have to take matters into your own hands to create the man of your dreams?

In a world where finding the perfect partner seems impossible, How to Manifest a Man challenges the notion that love is purely a matter of chance.

This story revolves around Dudu (Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa), who is in an unhappy marriage, and she decides to take fate into her own hands after her husband, Simphiwe (Mnqobi Kunene), loses his memory. 

Determined to reshape him into the ideal partner, Dudu embarks on a journey to mould him into the devoted man of her fantasies.

Her four points to achieving this are:

1. Erase the Past
2. Lie About the Future
3. Make Him Want Only You
4. Love Him with Everything You Have

Little does she know that Simphiwe's tendency for straying may prove unshakable, and Dudu must fight tooth and nail to hold onto the love she has painstakingly recreated.

However, as Dudu's one crime of passion unfolds, a web of complications emerges, including a determined detective, a relentless lover and a blackmailing witness.

And just when things couldn't get any worse, Dudu's own brother Sam Jnr Ngonyama (Lebo Msiza) plots to protect her from her own obsession.

The series also features Gaisang Noge as Ntombi, Simphiwe's lover; Lucia Mthiyane as Dudu's mother Felicia; Peter Sephuma as Sam Snr Ngonyama and Zola Mhlongo as Ntombi's best friend Zama.

Also in the cast are Kabelo Mashika in the role of Bafana and Aluve Mjali as Detective Sipho Ndlovu.

How to Manifest a Man was created by Reneilwe Sema and Mpho Lengane and is produced by Barkers Media, with series producer Mpho Lengane.

The head writer is Dorette Nel and the head director is Sandile Mdluli.

Original music is by Tseliso Monaheng.
