Lingashoni

Telenovela which revolves around a businessman who returns to reclaim his life 10 years after being declared dead.

The series tells the tale of a poverty-stricken farm worker who returns to his former life as a high-flying businessman after a decade-long memory loss.

After witnessing a murder by a prominent politician - Jo'burg Mayor Robert Nondumo (Luzuko Nkqeto), monied 'tenderpreneur' Mandla Cele (Patrick Mofokeng) goes on the run before surviving a murder from a close family member, which led to his memory loss.

After being discovered by Seipati Moeketsi (Liteboho Molise), a farmworker and her two children, along a riverbank, Mandla starts a new life with them as Themba.

Mandla weds Seipati and lives a content life in the farm, until 10 years later when an incident leads to him getting flashbacks of who he really is - Mandla Cele.

The series explores the concept of family, blended family drama, high stakes and the dark underworld of crime and suspense.

The show takes viewers on a journey that sees a man's life go full circle as he returns to his old life in Bassonia.

Mandla has to balance the dynamics of caring for his farm family with those of reconnecting with his children and now estranged first wife Puleng (Thuli Thabethe).

She has since started a new life with the family driver, Mandla's ice boy Papi Zulu (Thato Molamu).

Lingashoni is an M-Net Original Production, co-produced by Stained Glass TV and 1Magic.

World's Most Evil Killers 5

Delves into the gripping real-life stories of the world's most terrifying and prolific killers.

Each episode focuses on one notorious killer and features authentic first-hand accounts of their behaviour, from detectives who ran the cases, journalists who reported on the stories, relatives and at times survivors, alongside series experts who provide analysis.

These criminologists, crime journalists and psychologists examine how the infamous killers made headlines both nationally and internationally and why they still continue to evoke fear and fascination in the public eye.

We investigate the triggers that drove them to kill, delving into their insatiable appetite for murder and the chilling legacy they have left.

We uncover what has given them a place in the list of the World's Most Evil Killers and retell every chilling tale using a combination of interviews, narration, archive footage and stylised reconstruction.

Season 5 covers the horrendous crimes committed by the likes of Philip Austin, Russell Bishop, Colin Pitchfork, William Bonin (aka 'The Freeway Killer') who murdered 14 innocent victims and was ultimately executed via lethal injection in 1996, Douglas Daniel Clark and his accomplice, Carol M. Bundy known as The Sunset Strip killers who embarked on a murder rampage that shocked Los Angeles, and more.

In the Season 5 premiere, "Philip Austin": This is the profile of the man who murdered his wife, two children and two dogs on one terrifying day.
