Editorial Guide:
In-light of what we have seen in South African television to date, Mzansi Magic is looking for a fresh new show that has culture at its centre and is inspired by African source material.
What is Culture?
the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.
With this definition in mind, we are interested to see a story which portrays how culture has shifted in modern day South Africa. The characters journeys should deeply resonate with our audience and give us emotional hooks that carry the narrative throughout the show.
We are looking for a high concept story that’s deeply steeped in culture and is a first of its kind. We want this show to pull the veil off a world of story we have never explored or seen before.
