Shirley Adonisi, director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net, said: they are happy with this show as it will bring the best storyline ever on Mzansi Magic channel.“It’s great to have a new family join the Mzansi Magic kin in the new year. We have enjoyed success with reality shows that feature other prominent local families, from Uthando Nes’thembu to The Ranakas.We are excited to bring our Mzansi Magic viewers closer to the Ngcobo family through this story.
“We’re confident that some of the storylines explored will resonate with many who will be watching.”
On the multigenerational Ofuze, viewers will see that while Mr. and Mrs. Ngcobo have carved out the perfect path for themselves, it hasn’t been a bed of roses for their four children, especially since their loving parents rule with an iron fist. Veiwers will get to see the lives of their children who also have roles in their family business as well as their career.
We have Nathi Ngcobo, the opinionated first-born son who is a father of four. Keen to carve out his own path outside of the family business, we follow as he tries to run his family his own way.
The first-born daughter is actress and TV host Ntombee Mzolo, whose role in the family is that of mediator. A mother and wife, she has been battling her own demons since the loss of two of her children. Will she be able to catch the inner light she’s been chasing?
Third-born Jabu is a father who has his own commitment issues – much to the horror of his traditional parents. He wants to move out of home but refuses to get married, which is the condition placed on all Ngcobo children if they want to have their own space.
And then we have the last born, Vusiwe, whose megawatt smile hides a secret she’s been keeping from almost everyone in the family.
Ofuze is about a tight-knit family navigating their own unique challenges of life under the spotlight.
