Black Tax 2

Black Tax is a sitcom entrenched in the culture of black tax.

If you think you're just earning your way in this world, think again - because it's payback since the first paycheque.

The show follows a black professional, Thuli (Jo-anne Reyneke), who grapples with the unsaid aspect of her community that affects most middle-class African people.

Thuli has to deal with the unspoken law of paying back to the family and extended family.

Season 2 sees Thuli going to night school to up-skill herself, in order to rise above her black tax.

The second season features three new cast members to expand a storyline as the meddlesome new neighbours of Thuli and her crazy family.

Motlatsi Mafatshe plays Nkanyiso, Thuli's potential love interest; and Owen Sejake plays Bra Hugo, an old player and Nkanyiso's father.

In addition, Asante Mabuza plays the role of Lulu, Nkanyiso's daughter.

Top Chef 14

Top Chef takes on the culinary hotspot of Charleston, South Carolina, for the new season.

In an unparalleled twist, eight acclaimed chefs from across the country will unpack their knives alongside eight chefs from seasons past, who have never won the prestigious title and are back for redemption.

Sitting at the judges table for Season 14 are host Padma Lakshmi, head judge Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons, who are joined by new judge and Top Chef Masters alum, Graham Elliot.

This season is the ultimate challenge of old blood versus new when 16 talented cheftestants descend upon the city of Charleston to battle it out for $125,000, a feature in Food & Wine magazine, a showcase at the annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and the title of Top Chef.

Along with the return of the daunting Sudden Death Quickfire, high-stakes challenges include cooking for BBQ king Rodney Scott to the tunes of country music artist, Darius Rucker, a tribute honouring Edna Lewis and a holiday-themed Feast of Seven Fishes dinner.

One landmark challenge calls for the contestants to cook for a room full of culinary greats in hopes of landing the highly lauded prize of serving their winning dish at the James Beard House in New York City.

From a shrimp and grits cook off to a biscuit blowout, the chefs dive deep into the roots of Lowcountry cuisine to prove to the judges, the world, and themselves that they have what it takes to conquer their competition.

Throughout the competition, the chefs serve up food for culinary stars and celebrity guest judges including Frank Lee, Richard Blais, Chris Cosentino, Michael Voltaggio, Hugh Acheson, Mike Lata, Alexander Smalls, Michael Cimarusti and Michael Solomonov.

Sam Talbot (Season 2: Los Angeles)
