Uzalo is a South African soap opera produced by Stained Glass Productions, which is co-owned by Kobedi “Pepsi” Pokane and Gugu Zuma-Ncube. It began airing in 2015, quickly becoming a hit due to its compelling narrative, writing, direction and the performances of the relatively-unknown cast. It initially told the story of two young men who were switched at birth, one being raised in a family with core Christian values and the other at a crime syndicate. It currently broadcasts from Monday to Friday on SABC 1. It is at the moment the most-watched television show in South Africa.

Plot

Uzalo initially told the story of two families in the township of Kwa-Mashu: the Mdletshe family, who play a significant role in the management of the Kwamashu Kingdom Church, and the Xulu family who run a car theft syndicate.

The connection between the families was that their eldest sons were switched at birth during the period when Nelson Mandela was released from prison. As the show has progressed over the years, the storylines have dramatically changed with interchanging characters, contributing to many new story arcs, but simultaneously maintaining the growth of some of its main and supporting characters.

Broadcasting

Uzalo made its debut on Monday, 9 February 2015, on South African public television network SABC 1. Initially, it was aired only three times a week but after the show rapidly gained popularity, it was extended to five days a week.

The series premiere of Uzalo in February 2015, attracted 5 million viewers. A few months later, it had over 9 million viewers and was competing with Generations: The Legacy for the most viewed show in South Africa. It reached a new milestone by being the first-ever television show in South Africa to have a rating of over 10.25 million viewers in 2018.

Production

The program is filmed in KwaZulu-Natal’s KwaMashu F-section. It makes use of local talent and infrastructure to depict a realistic portrayal of life in the area.
