The end of the road for DiepCity

DiepCity is acclaimed by audiences, and described by critics as heartbreaking, irreverent and riveting. The expansive DiepCity is set in the Johannesburg township of Diepsloot, and it follows the residents as they walk the line between poverty and prosperity, legality and crime, and the impact which their decisions have on them and their loved ones.

The cast includes both celebrated actors and up-and-comers: Nozuko Ncayiyane as Nox, Mduduzi Mabaso as Mgedeza, and Dawn Thandeka King as Thandiwe are just some of the actors who have graced the show.

DiepCity was a massive winner at the 2021 Royalty Soapie Awards, taking home seven gongs, including Outstanding Daily Drama, just months after its premiere. It has been nominated for 10 South African Film and Television Awards this year, with the ceremony taking place next month. The telenovela has also consistently earned praise for its stunning cinematography and incredible soundtrack.

Since its debut in April 2021, DiepCity has added colour, life and heart to Mzansi Magic, and it has continued to give us dynamic and enthralling storylines. “We would like to thank the production, cast and crew for their commitment to the series, dedication to their craft and consistent hard work,” says Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net Shirley Adonisi.
