Legendary TV and theatre actors, famous faces, and new, fresh talent are on the menu in e.tv’s first locally produced Afrikaans daily
Legendariese TV- en verhoog-akteurs, bekende gesigte, en nuwe, vars talent is op die spyskaart in e.tv se eerste plaaslik vervaardigde Afrikaanse daaglikse drama KELDERS VAN GEHEIME.
Die reeks, wat handel oor die wel en weë van ‘n gemeenskap wat op Soebatskloof (’n wynplaas in die Boland) woon, fokus op drie families: die Abrahams -, Syster- en Marais-huishoudings. Hierdie families moet saamstaan, saam stem, en bowenal saamwerk om hul brood en botter – en ’n glas wyn! – te verdien.
DIE ABRAHAMS-GESIN
Edmund Abrahams (Duane Williams) is die wynmaker op Soebatskloof, en Nenna Abrahams (Vinette Ebrahim) is die afgetrede huishoudster en gasvryheidsbestuurder wat Edmund ‘ma’ noem.
DIE SYSTERS- HUISHOUDING
Joey Syster (Cedwyn Joel) is die patriarg van die Syster-familie, en woon en werk al sy hele lewe op Soebatskloof. Sandy (Riana Alfreds) is Joey se dogter, en het Nenna se verantwoordelikhede oorgeneem. Sandy se oudste dogter Debbie-Lee (Veronique Jephtas) werk saam met haar, terwyl haar jongste, Shireen (Vashti Prins) haarself vestig as ‘n algemene praktisyn in die Wynland. Phillip Smith (Dean Balie) is die man in Debbie-Lee se lewe.
DIE MARAIS-FAMILIE
Die Marais-familie bly al vir dekades op Soebatskloof. Charl Marais Senior (Nic de Jager) is eienaar van die wynplaas, terwyl sy tweede vrou Hermien Marais (Sandra Prinsloo) haarself besig hou met beeldhouwerk.
Tjoppie Marais (Geon Nel) is Hermien se seun uit haar eerste huwelik. Tjoppie het saam met Charl Senior se kinders uit sy eerste huwelik grootgeword. Charl Marais Junior (David Chevers) woon in London, en Annette Fourie (Ashley de Lange) bly in Australië saam met haar rugbyspeler-man, Du Toit Fourie (Zak Hendrikz). Lynn Fourie (Illse Roos) is Du Toit se “Sosiale Vlinder van die Wynlande” mamma.
Veronique (Rushney Ferguson), Tjoppie se vrou, is die bestuurder van die restaurant op die plaas. CJ (Angelo Johnson), die egpaar se oudste kind, is vanjaar ‘n matrikulant by Simonsvallei Gimnasium, waar Marco (Angelo Bergh), die egpaar se jongste, nou in Graad 11 is.
DIE HULP
’n Mens hoef nie jou oë op te slaan na die berge vir hulp in hierdie geweste nie! Rijk Nel (Marcel van Heerden) is die Marais-familie se rekenmeester, terwyl Dewald Piedt (Abduragman Adams) die familie se getroue prokureur is. Mercy (Tyral-Lee Miggels), Gabby (Karli Heine), Jason (Ben Albertyn), en Armand (Robert Hindley) is die kelners wat kliënte gelukkig hou. Stil Piet (Jurgen McEwan), Bismarck (Lorenzo Syster), Napoleon (Ivan Abrahams), en Nicodemus (Jason van Wyk) is van die werkers op die bedrywige plaas. In een van talle verrassende wendings, maak Brümilda van Rensburg ook ’n draai op die plaas.
KELDERS VAN GEHEIME word eksklusief op e.tv uitgesaai van Maandag tot Vrydag. Kykers kan die eerste episode van hierdie nuwe opwindende Afrikaanse daaglikse drama op die kleinskerm verwag in Mei.
