Season 1

Emoyeni is a South African supernatural anthology miniseries which follows the journeys of individuals plagued by loss, fear, guilt, pain and desire whose lives are turned upside down when they encounter supernatural experiences.

It was the first in a supernatural anthology miniseries strand which aired on SABC1 in 2018, entitled "Woza Nazo".

Each of these people must confront their fears and embrace the supernatural - or suffer forever. The four stories are as follows:

Tshenolo
directed by Pheello James Makosholo

The story of Kitso, a grieving widow saddled with her cheating husband's illegitimate son. Starring Nozipho Nkelemba as Kitso and Sayitsheni Mdakhi as Skhumbuzo.

Nsanguluko

The story of Phakamile, a once-successful drunk responsible for his daughter going missing. Starring Mothusi Magano as Phaks and Tumie Ngumla as Kholeka.

Intombi Yangale
directed by Thishiwe Ziqubu

The story of Zen, a water spirit who desperately wants to be human. Starring Mandisa Nduna as Zen, Ebenhaezer Dibakwane as Kwame, Motlatsi Mafatshe as Zero and Nomonde Mbusi as Ma.

Umnyama Ongenafu
directed by Mmabatho Montsho

The story of Bonga, a popularity-hungry fashionista running away from a calling. Starring Thabo Rametsi as Bonga, Bokang Phelane as Lilly and Ferry Jele as Mme Monare.

Emoyeni was created by Thishiwe Ziqubu and Bridget Pickering and is produced by Fireworx Media in association with Ngonyama Kapital. Ziqubu is the creative producer and head writer; Pickering a producer. Dan Jawitz and Neil Brandt are executive producers.
