Can you find the perfect man, or do you have to take matters into your own hands to create the man of your dreams? DStv Compact Plus subscribers are in for great primetime TV as 1Magic presents the premiere of   How to Manifest a Man   on Thursday, 3 August at 20:30. The upcoming drama series will have audiences hooked with its twisted narrative, psychological depth, and stellar cast of celebrated actors and rising stars. In a world where finding the perfect partner seems impossible,  How to Manifest a Man  challenges the notion that love is purely a matter of chance.

Meet the dangerous new family joining  The River They are headed by the traditional patriarch Bukhosi (played by  Bheki Mkhwane), who is as quick with his brain as he is with his gun. With a military past that comes in handy for his work as a heist king, he’s brash, outspoken and charming. He’s made of steel – so he’s not the one to cross. He brings with him his younger second wife, Nomafu (played by Brenda Mhlongo). Beneath her shiny and well-groomed exterior is a tough woman who has clawed her way out of poverty. She’s a terrible stepmother but she knows how to clean money – and she’s set to become Lindiwe Dikana’s biggest rival yet. Then there are the Hlophe sons – Mlilo (played by Vuyo Biyela) and Nkanyiso (played by Unathi Mkhize). The product of Bukhosi’s first marriage, they have a strained relationship with their father, but he wants them to take over the family business. Mlilo is nothing like his father – yet he’s everything like this father. Nkanyiso, on the other hand, is th

Mjolo? It’s complicated. Especially in the age of social media fame – and when you’re a woman in her 20s, balancing finding yourself with finding Mr Right (or Mr Right-for-social-media), all the while hoping your real life keeps up with the one you’re selling online. That’s the central theme of 1Magic’s  Unmarried  season 3, which makes a return on 8 April with a new cast, new storyline and new problems for its characters to tackle. While the first two seasons dealt with women in their mid-to-late 30s navigating motherhood, romance and careers, season 3 follows three friends in their 20s trying to survive the concrete jungle and all its predators. This season explores what it means to be unmarried in your 20s in South Africa, from sexual liberation and the freedom to choose who you want to be with, to relationship statuses that range from ‘just vibing’ to polyamory. It’s a tough dating landscape, especially when relationships are put under social media scrutiny. In season 3, we meet so
