Local highlights on DStv Family this September

DStv Family celebrates South African Heritage and culture this September, with 11 shows that spotlight our local lives.

Dance Africa Dance unites Indian music and African dance in a dazzling new competition series, while South Africa gets competitive in the kitchen, too, in a brand-new season of cooking contest Aansit. For more local flavour, Heléne Lombard invites you into her home in Boerediva, while Marliza van den Berg gives us a taste of the Garden Route in Op Soek Na Eden.

DStv Family explores deep inside culture, community and family in new seasons of Isencane Lengane, Mamazala, Vergewe My and S’khipha Amafiles, while Doreen Morris is back looking into missing persons cases in Vermis.

And it’s all about local love and romance in Bruid-Boetiek and Single & Mingle.

Home is where the heart is, on DStv Family this September.
