To make sure fans don't miss a single moment, the channel will air double episodes of its South African telenovela Black Gold from December 22 until the channel goes off air. The drama originally aired from Monday to Thursday at 6.30pm.

Launched in August, Black Gold quickly became a must-watch drama. The series, set in KwaZulu-Natal, follows themes of betrayal, family legacy and the fight for power.

At its centre is Nomalanga Shozi as Amandla Zungu, a principled woman whose world is turned upside down through treachery.
