With eGagasini: Waves of Change and The Four of Us, viewers can expect bold narratives rooted in family, ambition, betrayal, and survival – brought to life by two of the country’s most respected production houses.
Joining the new 7:30PM slot is eGagasini: Waves of Change, taking over from House of Zwide as a stylish youth music daily drama produced by Stained Glass TV, the award-winning production house behind Durban Gen. Produced by Gugulethu Zuma and Pepsi Pokane, the series delivers a fresh, youthful story set against the vibrant pulse of Durban’s fast-rising music scene.
Tshedza Pictures brings a gripping new family drama to the 8PM slot with The Four of Us, marking the acclaimed production company’s first-ever production for e.tv and taking over from Scandal!. Produced by celebrated storytelling duo Phathutshedzo Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon, the series promises the kind of captivating, character-driven drama that e.tv audiences know and love.
Speaking on the production, Stained Glass TV executive producer Pepsi Pokane says eGagasini is a story about the dangerous collision between dreams and consequences.
“At its heart, eGagasini explores what young people are willing to sacrifice in pursuit of success. It is vibrant, aspirational, and deeply rooted in music culture, but beneath that is a tense thriller about guilt, fear, and the weight of one life-changing decision. We are excited to bring audiences a story that feels fresh, contemporary, and emotionally charged.” Phathutshedzo Makwarela,
