Season 1
Taktiek is a South African, Afrikaans-language television sitcom which revolves around the security company employed to look after a fictional small town, which happens to be the safest town in the country.
The show is set in a small town in South Africa called Schusterton.
And just like any town in the country, there is a security company that looks after the people living there.
There are only two problems: Schusterton is the safest town in South Africa with not much going on; and the big boss of the security company Taktiek has been arrested and sent to jail.
"Let's roll."
"On your heels."
Those are the first lines in the pilot episode of Taktiek.
The two characters, Goose (Bennie Fourie) and Willy Brown (Keeno-Lee Hector), are prepared and ready for action.
There is just one problem: they are security guards in one of the safest towns in the country – Schusterton, where nothing much ever happens.
Things take an unexpected turn when the owner of Taktiek, the small-town crook Jorrie (Deon Lotz), is arrested for a range of crimes and sent to jail.
Jorrie's ex-wife, Karen (Marion Holm), loves money more than life itself and suddenly finds herself penniless.
With nowhere to go, she arrives at Taktiek and threatens to close the business. Easier said than done though.
It soon becomes clear to her that the employees at Taktiek will do anything in their power to keep the company going.
Also part of the Taktiek team,are the twins Attie (Schalk Bezuidenhout) and Mignon (Mandri Sutherland).
Attie is in IT but dreams of joining the action team. Mignon is responsible for the answering of calls and communicating with the team.
If she could only do that a bit quicker...
James Borthwick is Venter, a grumpy war veteran who should have retired long ago but must work to make ends meet.
Melissa de Vries is Bronwyn, Willy Brown's on-off girlfriend with the sharp tongue who works at the local pub.
Things get even more complicated when Jorrie and Karen's daughter, Lisa (Leché Joubert), is left by her millionaire boyfriend, and she finds out that Taktiek was registered in her name.
Other cast members include Ludwig Binge as Arend, Lise's loaded fiancé; Donnalee Roberts; Leandie du Randt; Devonecia Swartz; Antoinette Kellerman and Andre Weideman.
