In April e.tv will start a new local telenovela Isiphetho in the channel's 18:30 timeslot.
The red letter channel didn't make any announcement when Isiphetho was commissioned from Black Brain Pictures a few months ago but on Monday night on television in a late-night announcement said Isiphetho will start sometime during April.
Isiphetho The Destiny is set within South Africa's catering industry and will star Gugu Gumede, Mbalenhle Mavimbela, Thulani Mtshweni, Christpen Nyathi, Peter Mashigo, Thabiso Rammusi, Tsolofelo Maseko, Linda Sokhulu, Treasure Tshabalala and others.
Thapelo Ramatsui, e.tv publicist, on Monday told media to watch e.tv at 21:28 for the Isiphetho announcement.
Nothing was shared afterwards and days later by Wednesday afternoon e.tv hadn't issued any press release or sent the media any information about Isiphetho.
