If you were around in the early 1990s, you would agree that Emzini Wezinsizwa<\/em> was one of the people’s favorite television shows at the time. The show is a situation comedy that was created by Pixley Muziwakhe and Shabangu, running from 1994 to 2004 for 30 minutes on SABC 1.<\/p>\n

Emzini Wezinsizwa<\/em> was shot at Johannesburg and Mamelodi Hostels and distributed by the South African Broadcasting Corporation. The comedy show began with five South African comic actors who effortlessly won the attention and admiration of thousands of viewers through their roles.<\/p>\n

Emzini Wezinsizwa<\/em> was a groundbreaking comedy that chronicled the lives and antics of five men who moved to the city of Johannesburg to earn a living. The most interesting thing about their journey was that they ended living in Room 8 of the hostel compound they moved into.<\/p>\n

Room 8 in that compound was a popular and controversial apartment. So, on several occasions, these men were caught getting involved in all kinds of mischiefs, thereby violating the rules and regulations of the hostel.<\/p>\n

Emzini Wezinsizwa<\/em> occupies a special place in South African TV show history. The situation comedy was brought to life through the actors Roland Mqwebu, Jabulani Nkosi, Jerry Phele, Shadrack Ngema, and Vusi Thanda while others joined subsequently.<\/p>\n

At some point three of the main actors were fired for allegedly being rebellious. Upon their replacement, a lot of South Africans expressed displeasure over the replacement of the original actors with new faces. The sitcom was all shades of creativity, a show that kept viewers (especially comedy lovers) glued to their screens for years.<\/p>\n

The show originally aired in over four languages namely Zulu, Fanagalo, Sesotho, English, and Xhosa. Seasons 1 to 9 of the show were produced by Joe Seakatsie Productions while the trio – Sydney Sipho Shabangu, Pixley Muziwakhe, and Shabangu were the directors.<\/p>\n
