Mzansi Magic’s New Comedy Drama Fathers and Sons Coming in October

Three Men, One House and No Peace!

Just when you thought you know family drama, Mzansi Magic is here to prove you wrong with its brand-new comedy drama series Fathers and Sons premiering Monday, 06 October at 20:00.

Meet Madimetja (played by Makwela Lekalakala), the original deadbeat dad turned comeback king (in his own mind), who crashes into his son Khutso’s life like a kasi taxi with no brakes. Khutso (played by Paul Maila), a control-freak single Dad, is doing his best to raise his teenage son Gopolang (played by Omhle Tshabalala) with military precision until Madimetja shows up with nothing but a suitcase full of regrets and wild schemes. Meanwhile, Gopolang, caught between his dad’s rules and his grandfather’s chaos, just wants to vibe and survive!

Add a mischievous best friend from next door and a secret “situationship”…you’ve got a recipe for disaster plus a whole lot of laughs. Joining the main cast to bring this hilarious chaos to life are other fan-favourites including Sana Mchunu (Gomora), Londeka Sishi (Adulting), Linda Sokhulu (Unmarried) and Thabo Malema.

Each 22-minute episode is a whirlwind of second chances, fatherhood fails, teenage troubles and cultural clashes. From botched family dinners to TikTok disasters, the Mphahlele men stumble their way towards something that might just resemble a family…if they don’t kill each other first.

Fathers and Sons is a hilarious, heartfelt reminder that despite the embarrassing dynamics a family might find themselves in, it is fun, loud and definitely where love lives. So get ready for a laugh-out-loud, heart-tugging and sometimes eyebrow-raising ride through the lives of three generations of Mphahlele men trying (and failing) to live in harmony under one roof.

Fathers and Sons premieres Monday, 06 October at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161).
