On Monday, 1 October kykNET & kie premieres a new 156-episode Afrikaans telenovela Arendsvlei.

It's going to air Mondays to Wednesdays at 20h00 until September 2019 and features a line-up of South African TV stars with a crop of newcomers.

The series is produced by Penguin Films (Home Affairs, Ring of Lies) and it's been filmed in Cape Town, which serves as a backdrop to the show's fictional town of Arendsvlei.

The action centres round Arendsvlei High School and a brother and sister team who co-own the school with the intention of making a difference to the community.

Of course there wouldn't be a show if things went smoothly for them, which is where the story begins.

The school is struck by a shooting that changes everything.

This is what the show promises to deliver: Forbidden love. Guilt. Scandal. Drama. Love triangles. Passion. Murder. Families. Dreams.

These are the main characters:

Beatrice Abrahams
Played by Jolene Martin




Vice-principal of Arendsvlei High School. She co-founded the school with her brother Thys and she's married to the school's principal David.

She desperately wants to bring about change in the Arendsvlei community but it's a challenge because of a sadness that she hides behind closed doors.
