SABC2 post-AFCON: new shows and schedule changes

After soccer lovers are finished having their fun with AFCON, SABC2 gets back to real TV with a new primetime schedule and a burst of new and returning series from Monday, 6 February.

One of the notable schedule changes is that long-suffering 7de Laan (now in its 17de yaar) changes time again. This time to 18h00. 7de Laan fans are so used to the upheaval that you're no doubt prepared for anything at this point and non-7de Laan fans won't care because why would you?

This change means that the new early primetime schedule looks like this (from Monday, 6 February):

18h00: 7de Laan
18h30: Nuus
19h00: Dramas and new shows
20h00: Sotho news

The 19h00 timeslot will be populated by a mix of new and returning shows with Afrikaans series airing from Mondays to Thursdays at 19h00.

Here's an overview of the new shows and seasons coming up in February and March:

Doc Mcstuffins
On:
Mondays to Wednesdays at 15h00
Premiere date: Monday, 6 February 2017


Disney Junior’s animated series Doc Mcstuffins tells the story of a nurturing six-year-old girl who can talk to the stuffed animals and toys that she cares for in her playhouse clinic.

When Doc puts on her stethoscope, something magical happens, toys, dolls and stuffed animals come to life and she can communicate with all of them, including the toys belonging to her friends and other neighbourhood kids.

Kliphard
On:
Mondays at 19h30
Premiere date: Monday, 6 February 2017


A Top 20 music chart show based on the SA top 20 on RSG. It features music industry and behind-the-scenes news and retro stories. The show is hosted by Derrick Gardner.

Fees van die Ongenooides
On:
Tuesdays at 19h00
Premiere date: Tuesday, 7 February 2017


Set during the South African Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902), this miniseries focuses on the lives of those who had to endure and suffer through it. The war became the ultimate test of who they really were for Captain Brooks, Harry the Welsh miner, the wealthy Van Wyk family and people like Daantjie van Wyk and his beautiful wife, Magrieta,

Geure van die Vallei
On:
Wednesdays at 19h00
Premiere date: Wednesday, 8 February 2017


Chef Chris Smit spent many years in the commercial kitchens of some of the world’s most award winning hotels and restaurants and now he's he traded his crazy lifestyle and career as an executive chef for that of country chef with a tranquil and carefree life in the heart of South Africa’s food and wine capital, the Franschoek valley.

In this series he shares his recipes and culinary ideas. The philosophy behind his dishes is freshly
unpretentious.

Beter Assie Bure (Better Than The Neighbours)
The show was originally titled Boelie Jou Bure (Bully Your Neighbours) and has thankfully changed name.
On: Thursdays at 19h00
Premiere date: Thursday 16 February 2017
 

 
A game show in which family and friends participate in fun games with the aim of winning R15 000 and the winning title.

The games focus on general knowledge, music knowledge and contestants' ability to write lyrics and perform a well known song. Asking the questions and keeping it all together is Vincent Mofokeng, supported by Rocco de Villiers on the piano.

Red Cake Not The Cooking Show

This very badly titled show is a variety show starring comedians Tumi Morake and Alan Committee. We have no idea what it's about except that it features a house band led by Zwai Bala.

Life with Thami
On:
Saturdays at 18h00

Soul'd Out Sessions

South Africa, giving each show it’s own, unique look and feel.

Bone of my Bones
On:
Wednesdays at 21h30
Premiere date: Wednesday, 1 March 2017


A series that chronicles the lives of four male friends who have been friends since childhood. The story follows them as they struggle with the mundanities of everyday life and explores their relationships with strong-willed and opinionated women who refuse to have their voices suppressed.

Through these couples the series unpacks what it means to love someone and how they triumph or fail through the challenges presented of their relationships and lives.

Swartwater 2
On:
Tuesdays at 19h00
Premiere date: Tuesday 14 March 2017


Swartwater returns with a conflicted Francois who is battling to come to terms with the fact that his marriage is over. But Karen is adamant: it’s over.

After a short attempt to move back to Johannesburg, he realises his home is now Swartwater but he somehow has to make it work there without Karen in his life. He puts his head down and throws himself wholeheartedly into his work, cutting himself off emotionally from anything that could distract him from his career.

Karen has washed her hands of him, trying to make a new life for herself and Amulet. Her business as interior designer is picking up and she runs herself ragged trying to be the perfect mother and sole provider for her foster daughter.

While out photographing the state of the Fishermans village (it has gone somewhat to ruin since Philip’s incarceration... no one is taking responsibility for the newly branded Living Monument) she falls and injures her back.

The doctor prescribes pain killers and soon she cannot live without them. She finds herself
lying to both the doctor and the new Pharmacist Gomolema (Gomo) Molefe to refill her prescription again and again.

Not sure about 7de laan moving to that slot .but its a great idea giving the afrikaans market those two hours from 18h00 - 20h00 .it keeps them in one channel .lets hope the ratings improve .i wonder what sabc 1 and 3 will give us when they reveal their line up.

Bone of my Bones sounds interesting.
I wonder if Fees van die Ongenooides will have English subtitles.

Fees Van Die Ongenooides, might be interesting. That it is set against the backdrop of the Anglo-Boer war, makes it exciting.
