TX Time: 18h30

Fixing the Game: Junior Khanye

He was known as one of the youngest and best football stars in Mzansi and had the world at his feet - until it all went belly up.

Now Junior Khanye is letting the public into his life as he tries to pick himself up and put back the most important pieces of his life.

In this 14-part reality show, former Kaizer Chiefs footballer Junior Khanye is taking Mzansi on an off-the-pitch journey as he faces the biggest 'game' of his life which he calls a "second chance at life".

Fixing the Game is more than just about his time on the field, because for Junior this 'game' is all about winning back the heart of his first love and fixing the relationship that will benefit his kids, his family and career.

But after scoring many own goals - some of which were documented on I Blew It and various other online platforms - this will prove to be a tough challenge as this will come with many conditions.

The former Kaizer Chiefs' youngest and most revered football star lost it all during his heyday and he is excited to be getting another chance to fix where he has faltered.

He is making a comeback as an author, entrepreneur, owner of a football academy, and also reinventing his career as a football analyst.

Will he succeed in this rematch to redeem himself where it matters most and be that example of how one's life can be turned around with honest effort?

S.W.A.T. 5

Inspired by the television series and the feature film, S.W.A.T. stars Shemar Moore as a former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant, tasked to run a specialised tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles.

Torn between loyalty to where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson strives to bridge the divide between his two worlds and acclimate to his new duties as the legal guardian of a teenager.

Hondo's elite unit includes David "Deacon" Kay, an experienced S.W.A.T. officer and dedicated family man who always puts the team first.

Then there's Christina "Chris" Alonso, a skilled officer and the team's canine trainer; and Dominique Luca, an expert driver who gets them in and out of high risk situations.

Also on the team is Victor Tan, who started in the LAPD Hollywood Division and uses his confidential informants in the community to help the team.

Finally there's Jim Street, the team's cocky newest member who is re-instated to S.W.A.T. after being fired for compromising the unit.

Responsible for the management of all Metro Division S.W.A.T. units is Commander Robert Hicks, a senior LAPD official with the Special Operations Bureau.

Following Captain Jessica Cortez's departure for the FBI, the Mayor assigns Lieutenant Piper Lynch to SWAT as a tactical consultant, where she challenges the team's field strategy, which raises questions about her loyalty.

With Hondo leading the charge, these dedicated men and women bravely put themselves at risk to protect their community and save lives.

In the Season 5 premiere, "Vagabundo": In the aftermath of his decision to speak out in the press, Hondo retreats to a quiet town in Mexico to reassess his life and professional future, only to find himself reluctantly drawn into one local family's fight for justice.

In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "Madrugada": Still in Mexico, Hondo teams up with a local cop for a dangerous rescue mission, only to find himself with a target on his back.

Also, back in Los Angeles, Hicks considers disbanding the team for good.

With unprecedented access to the mastermind behind the development of modern serial-killer profiling, the series tells Burgess' tenacious story and her compassion for victims which puts her at the centre of America's most infamous true crime cases.

From the widely known Ed Kemper and Ted Bundy to lesser-known cases like the Ski Mask Rapist, Burgess investigates and studies the damaged psyches of victims and their attackers, putting two halves of the same story together to catch a killer.

Largely an unsung heroine until now, Dr. Burgess impacted not only the FBI, she also radically championed the plight of women in America.
