Tshisa is a celebration of South Africa\u2019s unique and vibrant youth culture and media. But it is also a gripping family drama. The story moves out of the TV station and into the daily reality of the characters\u2019 lives: Bafana\u2019s family in Mondeor; his girlfriend, Precious, raised by a strictly traditional Ndebele grandmother; and Ayanda\u2019s mother who has been growing progressively blind and must now learn to live with total blindness. Tshisa is a story of how our choices affect those we love \u2013 especially the effect drugs have on those choices.<\/p>\n
The drama reflects the lives and dreams of South Africans \u2013 within a hip and aspirational universe starring real-life celebrities. It is a tale of life choices; the price of fame; the allure of the bling; the downward spiral of drugs; overcoming disability; love, relationships and HIV; families and the traditional ties that bind. And it\u2019s packed with cliffhangers.<\/p>\n
