WEB SERIES

- ALYSSIA BIRJALAL

CHRIS Q. Radebe's new web series, Shut Up! Men Are Talking, has taken the internet by storm with its powerful storytelling.

So far, Radebe has released five episodes on his self-funded YouTube channel, with the 6th episode facing a delay due to a music copyright issue.

The series dives into the life of a young widow named Nontobeko, who pushes back against the demands of a heavily patriarchal society while trying to live an assertive life.

The show presents a sad reality for women abused by "cultural norms".

The first episode, which launched in September, was just over 30 minutes and attracted over one million views.

Since then, netizens have been hooked.
