Mzansi Magic announces iThonga, starring Bonko Khoza

February 23, 2025

In March Mzansi Magic is bringing you iThonga, a thrilling drama about love, brotherhood and the unbreakable bond of twins. Ever heard that twins share a soul? That their fates are forever linked, no matter how different their lives turn out?

iThonga dives deep into this notion with Banele and Sanele, twin brothers walking two completely different paths – one in the light, the other in the shadows – but their fates are forever linked.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of KwaZulu-Natal, the drama unfolds in a world of construction mafias, betrayal and a destiny too powerful to escape. 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?

Director of Local Entertainment Channels Shirley Adonisi describes iThonga as a game-changer: “This series focuses on the mystical and unshakable bond between twins and the lengths they will go to, 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 bringing this gripping story to life – Bonko Khoza, Ayanda Borotho, Noluthando Ngema, Siphosethu Mabaso and Nelisiwe Sibiya – the stakes are high, the emotions raw and the storytelling next level!

Bonko Khoza who is taking on the challenging role of twin brothers says he can’t wait for the nation to experience iThonga:⁠”It’s an authentically South African story rooted in the beautiful IsiZulu culture and one of the freshest narratives to hit our screens. Mzansi, you don’t want to miss this!”

Save the date: iThonga premieres on Monday 03 March at 20:30 on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161). This must-watch Mzansi drama is set to own this coveted primetime slot and keep viewers hooked!
