As'qoqeni will dig deep into the lives of people living in extreme clutter, tackling both the physical mess and the psychological roots of their issues, offering hope, healing and a path to healthier living.

Each week, As'qoqeni follows individuals trapped in homes more resembling garbage dumps than livable spaces.

With the help of a compassionate host and an expert team, they confront not just the physical clutter but also the emotional baggage that's been stacking up for years.

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.

Seeing South African hoarders will be interesting - do they have similar psychological reasons for it as people from other countries or are they different?
