A brand new local action drama series, The Alliance, will hit your screens on Wednesday, 27 April at 9:30PM.
The Alliance is a fast-paced eight episode drama series. It depicts the life of a popular kingpin Bra Jay, also known as the Reserve Bank Governor of Soweto. Bra Jay has a thirst for power and rules those around him with an iron fist.
The action drama puts issues such as organised crime, blood diamonds, drug cartels, money laundering and their damning consequences in the spotlight.
It features some of South Africa’s best small and big screen actors. Taking on the role of Bra Jay is Sifiso Simamane. Sifiso is known in the film industry for his creative scriptwriting and directing skills. He produced his first play Inkosi uMpande Kasenzangakhona (“King Mpande, son of Senzangakhona”) which will show at the Stable Theatre this year. Keneilwe Mtidze, previously on Gold Diggers as Nandipha, portrays the role of Evelyn, Bra Jay’s loving wife with a score to settle.
Comedian, Denzel Edgar plays Tsetse who is part of the Alliance. 2014 SAFTA nominee Cebile Mlaba takes on the role of Sis Dee. Adding flair to the stellar cast is the legendary South African movie star Owen Sejake who plays Ofentse.
The big question is; can a man with more enemies than friends save his sinking ship?
Don’t miss the premiere of The Alliance on Wednesday, 27 April at 9:30PM and see the drama unfold.
The Alliance is also available in HD on eHD channel 104 on OpenView HD as well as channel 194 on DStv.
