Ek, Hy en Jy (Me, Him and You) is a South African, Afrikaans-language television drama miniseries which tells the story of a woman who sacrificed her own needs to look after her sister, only for her life to take an unexpected twist, giving her a second chance at happiness.
Soefie has always put her younger sister Katrien's needs before her own.
Since their parents' death 16 years ago, Soefie has carried the heavy responsibility of looking after Katrien, and she has cared for her sister so dutifully and selflessly that she has sacrificed herself and her own dreams in the process.
To complicate Soefie's life further, her pilot boyfriend Nicolaas has a dream opportunity to work for an international airline and wants her to move with him to Hong Kong.
She decides against it and is then confronted with a love from her past – Nicolaas's brother, Jakes.
Reandi Grey is Soefie, André Lötter is Nicolaas and Bobby van Jaarsveld appears as Jakes.
Blyde Smit is Katrien and Neil Sharim is Danie, Katrien's beloved whom she met on a camp weekend and who provides regular comic relief.
Johan Scholtz and Brümilda van Rensburg are the two brothers' parents, Brink and Elise.
Brink tries everything in his power to find Jakes a wife. Elise, in turn, will do anything to prevent either of her sons' hearts from being broken.
Dawian van der Westhuizen plays Thomas, Jakes's son from a previous relationship.
The series is set, amongst other locations, on the beautiful horse farm where Brink and Elise live with Jakes and little Thomas.
The festive season and the accompanying celebrations are part of the story, which tackles themes such as love and loss, family ties versus individual needs, and the courage to seize second chances.
The series is produced by Sonvelt Media.

Destination X
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Reality Competition, Adventure
In this travel competition series, Europe is turned into a real-life gameboard as complete strangers are invited to participate in the trip of a lifetime and the ultimate geo-guessing contest.
These adventurous players will traverse each country on a blacked-out Destination X bus with the goal of figuring out where the "X" they are each week.
In each episode, the players disembark the bus to visit unique and unfamiliar tourist attractions that have been gamified into experiential challenges.
They will need to rely on their knowledge of pop culture, history, geography and observational skills to win clues to their current location and earn an all-important advantage.
Contestants must tap into their own personal expertise, identify hidden clues that are disguised as artifacts and discern intentional misdirects from competitors to ultimately determine their whereabouts.
Gamemaster and host Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) has a few tricks up his sleeve, from mind games and pivotal ultimatums to introducing two familiar faces - JaNa Craig (Love Island) and Peter Weber (The Bachelor, The Traitors), who hop on the adventure bus and change the trajectory of the game.
At the end of each episode, designated contestants must enter the Map Room and place their X on the map to indicate where in the world they think they are.
The furthest from the actual location is sent packing.
The final player standing at the end of the tour will find Jeffrey at the ultimate Destination X and win $250,000.
Each player's strategic gameplay is tested as they eat, sleep and travel together through Europe's most desirable locations on the Destination X bus.
The players each share an unmistakable sense of wanderlust, but with constantly shifting alliances and unexpected adversaries, they're forced to discover who they can trust, whose strengths will take them the farthest, and who to send to the Map Room.
