Grab your popcorn, plug the TV into your generator, and your Wi-Fi router to your UPS back-up battery, season 29 of ‘The South Africa Show’ might be the most exciting take on the Afro-political drama genre yet. Groundbreaking stuff, new depths, exciting...

Xmas special, I, alongside my peers who are some of our country’s most elite TV critics, was invited to a preview of the upcoming 29th season of. You’re in for a treat, long-suffering viewer. Get your resilience socks on, this groundbreaking show will break even more ground in the coming year, heading further down into previously unthinkable depths.

Not to say they’re formulaic in their take. I’m sure the genre enthusiasts among you will remember that often, in this kind of Afro-political drama, writers will introduce dictatorial leaders who overstay their welcome. How refreshing, then, that season after season,scriptwriters have consistently given us a twist on this arguably tired trope. Bar the first guy, every single president has understayed their welcome, always leaving long before they have to.

Take, for example, that Lord Gwedemental of the Mantasheites character, who literally works hard to speed up this civilisation’s climate apocalypse while also ensuring that the country can’t solve its electricity crisis for at least a couple of generations. The whole darkest Africa thing hearkens back to terribly racist colonial tropes, and I don’t understand why they would write in a character who works so hard to make this trope a reality.

I hope the writers will rethink this plotline. There’s nothing quite as boring as an Afro-political drama that lacks espionage and corruption. I hope they’ll change their minds like they did with the ramaphoria.
