Uzalo is the most popular show in South Africa, with over 7 million viewers per day. The show’s popularity has skyrocketed despite the fact that some viewers find it boring and confusing. As DSTV is out of reach for the vast majority of South Africans, the more affordable analogue system continues to dominate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No matter how many times we watch it, though, it will only be worthwhile if we pay attention to the characters in the real world. The cast of the program is representative of the wide range of socioeconomic statuses in South Africa. Every social stratum, from the affluent to the middle class to the criminal underground, has its share of thugs.

As nice as it is to see everyone in their places, we can’t help but question if the person we see on TV every day is the same person we see in person. You, too, will be rendered speechless by them. DK’s insight into his persona will astound you.

DK ”

Tom doesn’t even remotely resemble his real-life persona, yet DK still has him associating with criminals and giving them the finger.

MBatha

All of these characteristics were shown to be present in the episode’s antagonist, a preacher who was evil. Thanks goodness he’s not like that in person.
