Can you cheat destiny?

Get caught up in the new dynamic and intriguing drama series, Isipho, and see whether destiny can be changed or not.

From visions to strangers with special gifts, Isipho pulls out all the stops every Monday to Thursday.

Drama and intrigue

Set in Muldersdrift and surrounds, Isipho follows the story of Moses Shezi, a former academic whose peaceful life takes an unexpected turn when he sees a troubling vision of his daughter’s death. He sets out to find the four strangers in his vision, desperate to change the seemingly inevitable course of destiny. But, when he finds the strangers, he finds that they are not ordinary people – they have special gifts. Moses and his psychologist wife team up with teachers in the spiritual arts to start an academy for the gifted people they encounter in order to hone their gifts. Along the way, they realise that the students need as much guidance to be the best versions of themselves as they need help in honing their gifts.
