African Dreams is a South African mockumentary television series which revolves around African Dreams, a young wedding planning company in competition to win their biggest client yet –Lalla Hirayama. Between the company’s OCD co-founder, the perpetually late marketing manager, a skateboarding obsessed CFO, a herbfriendly pre-marital counsellor and a self-obsessed intern, do they have what it takes to walk down the aisle or will they get cold feet?
The series follows two wedding planning companies: African Dreams, a smaller but passionate black-owned company; and the successful, well-established and ultra-elegant Eleganté Wedding Emporium, as they are pitted against one another in a wedding reality competition. This is a story of the underdog, set in Maboneng, Johannesburg. It offers a fly-on-the-wall look into the everyday struggles of Thandeka Dlamini and her entrepreneurial team at African Dreams, an up-and-coming wedding planning company. The team’s desire to be the top wedding planners in South Africa is put to the test as a high-profile celebrity has placed them in the
final stages of her wedding planning competition. However, the team’s complicated and colourful personal lives
may see them lose it all. In the series premiere: It’s the big day for African Dreams, when they find out if they will be one of the two finalists in Lalla’s Wedding Reality Competition. Perfectionist and company CEO, Thandeka, struggles to keep her team together – on the one end is her co-founder, Mosa, who can never be on time or keep away from a mimosa. On the other end is her brother, Bongani, who is nothing like the serious CFO she
needs him to be.
