Shirley Adonisi, M-Net’s director for local entertainment channels said this series will show issues that teenagers are currently facing.
“This is a story of a lot of young people in our society nowadays – faced with the pressure to succeed, liked by peers, have an emotionally stable family life and also nail it in the relationship department. We hope that stories like this one, that we tell on Mzansi Magic, will not only entertain but also shine a spotlight on pertinent themes that many teenagers deal with daily,” she said.
