‘iThonga’ is one of freshest narratives to hit our screens: star Bonko Khoza

Ever heard that twins share a soul? That their fates are forever linked, no matter how different their lives turn out?

Premiering in March, Mzansi Magic’s highly anticipated new prime time drama, iThonga, dives deep into this notion. The thrilling narrative is centred around Banele and Sanele, twin brothers walking two completely different paths — one in the light, the other in the shadows — but whose destinies are intertwined.

Set in breathtaking KwaZulu-Natal, the drama unfolds in a world of construction mafias and betrayal. As Banele and Sanele’s separate lives become one, the big question is: if twins share a soul, where does one end and the other begin?

Shirley Adonisi, director of Local Entertainment Channels at the MultiChoice Group, describes iThonga as a game-changer: “This series focuses on the mystical and unshakeable bond between twins and the lengths they will go to protect each other’s legacy against any negative forces at play. It’s a powerful blend of culture, family and the unseen forces that bind twins together.”

With a powerhouse cast — Bonko Khoza, Ayanda Borotho, Noluthando Ngema, Siphosethu Mabaso and Nelisiwe Sibiya — bringing this gripping narrative to life, the stakes are high, the emotions raw and the storytelling next level.
