The aim? A fresh start - inside and out.

Prepare for raw emotions, astonishing transformations and family turmoil as participants tackle everything from hoarding and depression to deep-seated trauma.

With therapy and cleaning experts by their side, they don't just clean up their homes - they clean up their lives.

As'qoqeni is hosted by facilitator and therapist Thabang Mashigo, who has featured as a resident psychologist, mentor and contributor on a number of reality shows like Seng'khathele, Ngishade Wrong and Abobaba.

Tune in to see these individuals get help and unravel the reasons behind these extreme living conditions, tackling issues like depression, substance abuse, hoarding and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In the series premiere: Ruth, a woman in her 50s, has developed hoarding habits as a way to cope with her trauma.
