After two seasons of drama, passion, and storytelling, Tshedza Pictures’ telenovela Gqeberha: The Empire for Mzansi Magic is getting ready to close the book.
Since its premiere, Gqeberha: The Empire has managed to enchant audiences with its storytelling and the stellar performances of its cast.
From Anele Matoti’s portrayal of the funny yet complex Msimelelo to Unathi Guma’s portrayal of the strong-willed Funeka, the series has consistently delivered compelling characters.
Nozuko (Kay Bikitsha), Thulani (Thembinkosi Ngcukana), and season two’s addition of Bongile Mantsai as the menacing Hlumelo Mxenge have only deepened the show’s storylines.
Team behind series lauded
Its ability to track the growth of characters and weave intricate storylines has captured viewers’ imaginations from the start.
Shirley Adonisi, the director of local entertainment channels at M-Net, lauded the team behind the series.
“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the producers, cast, and crew of Gqeberha: The Empire,” said Adonisi.
“Their unwavering dedication and exceptional talent have delivered spellbinding storylines in one of the most fiercely competitive primetime slots.
“As we approach the grand finale, we eagerly anticipate witnessing the culmination of this extraordinary journey.”
Support from government
Adonisi also expressed deep gratitude to the Eastern Cape provincial government for its crucial support, which has helped the production flourish.
She highlighted the stellar work of multi-award-winning production company Tshedza Pictures and the entire cast and crew, whose delivery has kept viewers interested since the show’s inception in January 2021.
In the lead-up to the finale, viewers will witness Hlumelo grapple with the fallout of his poor choices and seek help from those he wronged.
Meanwhile, Nozuko will face her overwhelming loss. Will Hlumelo and Nozuko’s relationship survive, and will anyone ever find peace and true love?
