eHostela 2

A tale about inkabi (hitmen), eHostela returns for Season 2 as new leaders of the Brotherhood - this secret society of hitmen - finds itself under threat from a new sheriff in town.

Dumisani Dlamini, who appeared in one episode last season as Marocks, now plays Celemba; whilst Mduduzi Mabaso joins the cast in the role of AK.

Celemba and AK are new kingpins at the helm of the Brotherhood - and they have targets on their backs as Mndeni (Thobani Nzuza) comes to town and finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place.

He has to decide whether to rejoin the notorious hostel gang as an ally or as a police informant as Captain Moloi (Linda Sebezo) closes in on the eHostela's most feared gang.

Andy Mnguni joins the cast as Sikhakhane, a love interest of Celemba.

Will Captain Moloi succeed in convincing Sikhakhane and Mndeni to work against the Brotherhood by feeding information to her?

Also new this season is musician Sjava who plays Fish, Celemba's son.

This season finds Mndeni on a quest to find closure and perhaps new beginnings after his exit from the Brotherhood in Season 1, following his gang-style execution of his out-of-sorts stepbrother, Jama, to avenge the killing of his wife Khethiwe in front of members of the community.

Mndeni returns a year later, trying to find a sense of belonging having left the Brotherhood.

He moves to KwaDelinkani hostel in Johannesburg where he joyously reunites with his old buddies 2 Litre (Joshua 'Mjosty' Mbhele) and Vovo (Ernest Msibi), but this soon reminds him that he is alone and without any family.

What he thinks is a quick and once off visit to KwaDelinkani, quickly thrusts him back into the life he so desperately wants to get away from.

Unbeknownst to him, the life that he wants to get away from brings him closer to the family he has always yearned for... and perhaps a new beginning.

All Creatures Great and Small

A new adaptation of best-selling author James Herriot's cherished collection of stories.

Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, James Herriot follows his dream to become a vet in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales.

He soon discovers that treating the animals is as much about treating their owners, and the Dales' famers are a tough crowd to please.

At Skeldale House, James gets to know his newly formed dysfunctional family: his chaotic and erratic boss Siegfried Farnon, his wayward brother Tristan and the shrewd Mrs Hall, who is endlessly steering the ship.

When local beauty Helen Alderson attracts James's attention, he finds another reason to stay in the Dales.

In the series premiere, "You've Got to Dream": It's 1937 and Glasgow is in the grip of depression. James Herriot, fresh out of veterinary college, is struggling to find work.

Under pressure from his mother to take a job on the docks, James wants to follow his dream and seizes an opportunity to interview for a job as a veterinary assistant in Yorkshire.

James arrives in Darrowby village nestled among the magnificent rolling hills of the Dales.

He meets Siegfried Farnon, his potential new boss, who is idiosyncratic and chaotic; and his shrewd housekeeper Mrs Hall.

James is immediately thrown into the deep end when Siegfried takes him out to the local farms to put his skills to the test.

James has to conquer his nerves and trust in his abilities as he treats his first client; a horse with an infected foot.

It's gruelling work. James ends up battered and bruised and Siegfried remains inscrutable at his efforts.

James meets Helen Alderson, a local farmer with whom he is immediately smitten.

She advises James to stand up to Siegfried, but when James is held to account for a mix-up on surgery day, his jobs hangs precariously in the balance.

James sees an opportunity at redemption when, in the middle of the night, local farmer Dick Rudd asks for help with a difficult calving.

Unbeknown to Siegfried, James takes on the case, but the cow is struggling and James will have to fight tooth and nail if he is to save the calf, and his future.
