The Final Verdict
South Africa has the most progressive constitution yet many of our citizens don’t learn about their rights and thus cannot access these rights. The Final Verdict is a 26-part television series dedicated to ensuring ordinary citizens’ understanding of the justice system and how it is there to serve South Africans. It showcases and promotes access to justice through dramatic re-enactments of real-life criminal cases and relevant court proceedings.
The series is highly informative and, at the same time, extremely entertaining as it uses drama to capture the attention of the viewer, while additional interviews with prominent legal experts, coupled with exciting graphics, provide in-depth information about the justice system in South Africa. Our understanding of our access to justice is enhanced… Catch the Final Verdict on SABC2 every Thursday at 22h00
The A List
The A List
The Fifa World Cup was a very important event on the South African calendar and the more it drew close , the more it became apparent that women’s voices and needs were going to be swallowed up in a sea of balls, nets and sweaty men…. And thus the A List was born.
The A List was a fun and sexy, fast paced entertainment show, which delved into the world of sport, fashion and glamour. A world filled with striking soccer celebrities, sizzling WAG’s and scorching sports stars. But it’s not just the beauty, bods and fashion that caught our attention; we also dished up the latest news, gossip and scandal burning up the national and international presses and gave our audiences a front row seat to some of the most prestigious sporting events in South Africa during this all exciting period. We captured the parties, the matches, the scandals as well as the national mood as Bafana Bafana thrilled and disappointed in equal measure… Don’t we just love them though…
