Uzalo is a South African television program that offers an interesting and provocative look at modern life in South Africa by following the lives of folks who reside in a tiny town in KwaZulu-Natal.
The highly anticipated Uzalo teasers for January 2023 are here and it appears the show would even get more dramatic and intense as we follow the lives of its characters. One of the most viewed TV series in the country, the Uzalo TV series has increased in popularity since it first premiered in 2015.
