Plot


Tjovitjo is a hyper-reality dance series set in the slums of Johannesburg. Tjovitjo is led by Mafred - played by Warren Masemol a- a thug and dancer with a past as a petty criminal, who is seeking the approval of his community.
The series spotlights sePantsula - a subculture and dance form that emerged in the 1950s, in the shadow of apartheid. Beneath the dirty street dance-offs, each episode Tjovitjo delves into contemporary issues that plague South Africa and the youth, such as unsafe abortion, zama-zama (illegal mining) and physical abuse.
Dance is what really what keeps this impoverished community sane but in the second season two dance is banned putting this very sanity to the test.
Amidst Mafred's poverty and struggle, a hardened Pantsula dance leader enters thug life and searches for redemption and salvation in his community.
