Jongo is set to make its free-to-air debut on e.tv on Tuesday, 19 April at 8:30PM.
This action packed 16-part series tells the story of a young man who acquires an array of supernatural abilities after his dad leaves him an alien crystal that he found in a cave at the Cradle of Humankind.
Season 1 stars Hip-Hop singer Pacou Mutombo as Eli King and is set in modern-day Johannesburg. The diverse cast comprises well-known faces, such as Luthuli Dlamini, and newcomers, like Katlego Baaitse (who plays Eli’s best friend) and Pauline Zwane (as Eli’s girlfriend).
Eli King acquires incredible super powers from an alien crystal. The stone is left to him by his father, an enslaved miner who is murdered shortly after escaping from the cave. Eli tries to deal with the death of his father and is set on finding the men responsible for his death. He also grapples with the powers of the crystal and how it will indelibly alter the course of his life.
