Sterlopers

Musical youth drama created and written by Deon Opperman which follows the fortunes of a group of young people who are all trying to make it in the entertainment industry, with an inside view into the secrets that are to be found behind the scenes of success.

The series exposes the exciting merging of two sides of the South African entertainment industry - the glittering highways and the shadowy alleys - on the road to fame.

Themes of disillusionment, betrayal, passion and scandal, accompanied by the roller coaster-ride of desiring success, depict the storyline.

True to Deon Opperman's writing style, this series explores the ambitions, complex relationships and search for identity which each of the dynamic characters face in their own separate segment of the industry.

Sterlopers is classified as a youth drama.

Not only does this genre allow for the introduction of new, fresh talent, but it also offers established artists an opportunity to show their talent on a brand new platform, as the series also includes the performance of popular Afrikaans songs.

Op Seer se Spoor 3

Follows the journey of Kuier magazine's article editor, Ernusta Maralack, who returns to the scenes of the cruelest murders in the Western Cape - stories she sometimes covered.

She interviews relatives of the victims and in some cases also the perpetrators' relatives in a search for answers to why these crimes occurred and how communities are affected by them.

In the series Ernusta asks the question: "How many more murders before something gets done?", epscially in the case of young children and women.

In the first two episodes of the new season, Ernusta revisits one of the biggest massacres Cape Town has ever experienced when nine young men were murdered in 2003 in a massage parlor in Sea Point, Cape Town.

The victims were tortured for hours before their throats were cut and they were shot, execution-style.

The two killers were sentenced to life in prison nine times over.

One has since died, but now there is a chance that Adam Woest will be released on parole after only 17 years in prison.

Ernusta will also investigate the so-called place where missing bodies are found on the Cape Flats.

A hardened journalist remembers the fear that gripped the whole community, even after the so-called Station Killer was sent to prison in the nineties.

Does "The Hole" - where bodies are allegedly left regularly - really exist in Mitchells Plain?

According to rumours, this is the first place to look when someone goes missing.

Dan, a man who was dubbed by the media as the "Wellington Serial Killer" or the "Boland Killer", will soon be tried in the Western Cape High Court.

He allegedly killed at least three women after luring them with the prospect of a loan or a job and their bodies were found on a farm on the outskirts of Wellington in the Western Cape.

The man is also accused of kidnapping and raping a fourth woman repeatedly.

He will face at least three murder charges and several of rape and kidnapping. Ernusta talks to the families of the victims.

From the sunny beaches of southern California to the coldest edges of Maine, the series scours the US from coast-to-coast for the best vehicles to buy, restore, test and sell for a tidy profit.

What treasures will the guys find and flip on their epic adventures?
