Set your reminders and get ready for the premiere of Jongo, the first African superhero TV show which premieres tonight at 8:30PM.
Jongo tells the story of Eli King, a young man who acquires super powers after he finds an alien crystal.
Eli also tries to deal with the death of his father and sets out to find the men responsible. But what he doesn’t know is that the men he is hunting have crystals of their own, and needs his stone to fulfil an ancient and devastating prophecy which will threaten the lives of millions.
Eli is played by hip hop dancer, Pacou Mutombo, who in the beginning of the series is a normal young man living an ordinary and humble life in urban Johannesburg. Eli hates his day job as a courier delivery guy and makes up for it by moonlighting as a dance teacher at night. Learn more about the characters here.
