Watch as BET Africa teases debut of their new show “Redemption”

The 26th of September will see the debut of an exciting new daily drama on BET Africa. The broadcast will first air on BET Africa (DStv 129) and then on e.tv. The Zikode family is the focus of Redemption, which is set in a large church. According to a press release from BET, after Pastor Simon Zikhode (Themba Ndaba) goes missing, his daughter Faith (Kwanele Mthethwa), who is just starting her international music career, abandons everything to save her family.

Faith learns devastating secrets about those who are closest to her and is forced to face her demons as she becomes more and more involved in the church and the family’s affairs. Dark truths are revealed, and the Zikode family must make a lot of perplexing choices as they struggle to preserve their legacy.

Themba Ndaba declared: “Redemption will bring the highly anticipated drama; it will elicit passionate discussions about the everyday struggles of the average South African, and it will shed light on the value structures in African communities.”

I’ll be playing Pastor Simon Zikode, a strong and charismatic character who won’t stop until he gets what he wants. “We are excited to see how the energy on set translates to the screen.” Along with newcomers N’kone Mametja and Toka Mtabane, the cast also features Tina Jaxa, Sthandiwe Kgoroge, Seputla Sebogodi, Yonda Thomas, Pearl Modiadie, Sparky Xulu, and Yonda Thomas.

According to BET International’s Senior Vice President of Editorial and General Manager of Paramount Africa, Peer Lead, their mission at BET Africa is to engage the black community and genuinely promote black excellence in our sector and through the stories we tell. This BET Africa Original was created by an exceptional team.

Two of South Africa’s most renowned production companies, Seriti Films, and Burnt Onion Productions, collaborated on the film Redemption. Seriti Films is renowned for its masterful storytelling, and Burnt Onion Productions produces work of the highest calibre. This ensures an enthralling viewing experience for their audiences across the continent, along with the outstanding cast of Redemption.

BET consistently gives fresh talent a chance to show off their abilities. They have produced some of the best works, including Isono: The Sin, which was a huge hit. South Africans eagerly anticipate the program featuring excellent black actors and actresses because they know that BET never disappoints!

Redemption will be broadcast on BET Africa from Monday through Thursday at 18:00, with repeats at 21:30. (DStv 129).
