October is filled with edge of the seat drama  on Mzansi Magic and one of the shows set to keep you glued to your screens is the breath taking iThemba.

Based on a young girl's pursuit to find her missing sister, the series follows Philiswa who discovers her sister Nomonde's disappearance is eerily linked to a less than sanctified 'church' named Kingdom of Blessings. From then on she's determined to get to the bottom of the situation, no matter how dangerous it may seem. Since it's premiere last week, the show has garnered mass praise for its gripping storyline and stellar cast.

With several more episode to go, things are clearly set to get more heart stopping as the leaders of Kingdom of Blessings fight to keep their evil ways hidden and a young love blossoms with potentially disastrous consequences. And just in-case we've peaked your curiosity, here's a quick look at the first highlight from the show.

Catch iThemba every Monday at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic, DStv 161.
