The new Netflix series "The Mabaso's Family Reunion" is a hit with South African viewers, thanks to its funny moments and a great cast of actors. The show tells the story of four siblings who haven't been close for a while. They all come back to their family home in Johannesburg after their mother dies. But things get crazy when they find a coffin full of money and the wrong body! This sets off a wild adventure where they have to deal with dangerous criminals and stay out of trouble with the law.
The cast is full of big South African stars who give amazing performances. Bonko Khoza, Natasha Thahane, Lerato Mvelase, and Thulani Mtsweni play the four siblings. They're all dealing with their own problems, like greed, wanting to be famous, and losing things that are important to them.
But it's not all serious. There are lots of really funny parts too. Jerry Mofokeng plays Pastor Pitso, a not-so-good pastor who had a secret relationship with the siblings' mother. He's a very funny character. Alfred Ntombela, who is known for making people laugh, plays a lovable gangster named Hush Puppy. Lungile Yende and Yolo Noruwana are also hilarious as the daughters-in-law.
One of the main stories is about Thuli (played by Lerato Mvelase), who is secretly pregnant with her best friend's husband. He's a doctor where she works as a nurse, and she loses her job when he finds out about the baby.
Another sibling, Bheki (played by Thulani Mtsweni), is a politician who is doing some illegal things. The Hawks (a special police unit) are investigating him. He also has a wife and two daughters who spend a lot of money, so he's having trouble paying for his mother's funeral. It's also revealed that Bheki hurt his brother Bongani (played by Bonko Khoza) and ended his football career.
