On 16 November kykNET & Kie (DStv channel 145) will launch new local Afrikaans
soapie Suidooster.
The show is produced by Gambit Films which received acclaim at the kykNET
Silwerskermfees and Independent Mzansi Short Film Festival for the short film
Number 37. Gambit Films has received mentorship from Homebrew
Films in the last few years and M-Net Director for Afrikaans Channels Karen Meiring
explains, “M-Net is delighted that this partnership – which we actively supported,
encouraged and nurtured for several years – has led to the birth of a series that’s
expected to become a highlight on our schedule. We are passionate about developing
capacity in the industry and the kykNET Silwerskermfees has been instrumental in
achieving this.’
Suidooster is the first soapie to be set in the Western Cape and will
feature every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 16 November at 20h00 on
kykNET & Kie.
