Season 1
Cobrizi is a South African television drama series which is a spin-off from the soapie The River following Cobra (Presley Chweneyagae), who unexpectedly finds love after moving to inner-city Johannesburg.
The series sees Cobra attempting to do right by his youngest child by proving he is not a loser in a gritty, heart-wrenching and ultimately hopeful tale of survival, love and redemption.
However, Cobra's journey is anything but smooth.
He starts off as the same troubled, angry man from The River - a survivor whose only way out has been through theft and hustling.

He is still drawn to his beer, women and taverns but even a man like Cobra can evolve... if life gives him a fighting chance.
