The synopsis courtesy of the SABC: “ Nkuli (25) (Kea Zawadi) is “overworked, undervalued, and underpaid as a junior journalist for Dazzle, a beauty and lifestyle magazine. She’s determined to become a powerhouse like her brilliant yet ruthless editor-in-chief Elaine Thabethe (42) (Lerato Mvalase). But this is all threatened when Elaine breaks the news that Dazzle is going digital and that staff will be retrenched”.
The series includes stalwarts Bonko Khoza as Zakhele, Mohau Cele as Olwethu, Monnye Kunupi as Pumla, and Didintle Khunou as Lerato.
