Coolness: Mzansi Magic's losing its SABC repeat vibes slowly but surely with another new scripted series.
Nyala O…
Nyala uh-oh...
Nyala
oh, what did I do?!...
It premieres on Monday 20 July at 19h00 and explores marriage and what comes with it - the beauty, sacrifices, secrets, the difficult choices and eye opening revelations.
It centres round three women whose lives become intertwined as their marriages face unexpected challenges.
Together they navigate issues of love, finances, forgiveness and identity, while confronting an uncomfortable truth about marriage.
And each has to answer the crucial question: “Why did I get married, and is that reason still enough to keep me in this marriage?”
It's produced by Origins Pictures (Mpondoland) and new episodes air Mondays to Wednesdays.
Here's a close-up on the three and their handbags:
Kea Maponya
Played by Mapaseka Koetle

When she discovers the ultimate deception by her husband of 15 years Rhami Maponya, her world comes crashing down.
She discovers a secret that could see her picture-perfect family life destroyed.
Worse still, she learns that some of the people closest to her have been privy to this secret all along.
Rhami is played by Motlatsi Mafatshe.
Mapula
Played by Tsholofelo Matshaba
