Suidooster

Storyline

A matriarch, her two daughters, her grandchildren, and her friends. kykNET and kykNET and Kie's new soap opera is about the people of Suidooster, a small shopping and business centre in the fictional Cape Town suburb of Ruiterbosch. The three families that live and work there inevitably share their joys, sorrows, disputes, romances, revenges and retaliations, misunderstandings, and jealousies, but it is also the story of a multicultural South African community. Mrs J's long-lost daughter, Lee-Ann, comes home after having been away for many years. Mrs J's older daughter, Bridgette, is unhappy about this for various reasons, and she does everything in her power to get rid of Lee-Ann. In the mean time, Bridgette's husband (property magnate, Ian October) is working on a devious plan that threatens the Suidooster community, which includes Uncle Fasie's Oos Wes Restaurant, the Aalwyn Apteek, and Suidooster Eiendomme Bpk. On the other side of the spectrum, the Samsodiens own and manage the chemist in the Suidooster centre. Initially their lives seem perfect, but their world falls apart when the presence of Bianca Fourie (Oos Wes' new waitress) opens an old wound. We also have the Du Plooy family who cannot seem to escape the hold that Ian October has over them. When Chris Du Plooy's son, Tim, starts working for Ian, their lives take a new turn. Throw in some family from Gauteng (Stefan and Michelle Gerber) who have had to come and live with Du Plooy family indefinitely, and you have a bomb that could go off at any time.
