Baby Cele exposes the dark side of gospel music in new telenovela ‘Genesis’
Viewers will be treated to the acting prowess of Baby Cele, Buyile Mdladla and KB Motsilanyane when their latest Mzansi Magic telenovela premières in April.
Set for 260-episodes, “Genesis” will explore the intricate and often tumultuous world of the gospel music industry.
Produced by Singavision Productions, “Genesis” promises to deliver an emotional roller-coaster filled with themes of loyalty, betrayal and the struggle for power, all intertwined with powerful musical performances.
According to the channel, the telenovela will “reshape what you thought you knew about the gospel music industry narrative”.
“‘Genesis’ delves into the high-stakes world of gospel music where loyalty is tested and betrayal lurks around every corner,” read the statement.
At the heart of “Genesis” is Felicia Thabethe, a character who once reigned supreme as the queen of gospel music.
With aspirations of building a substantial legacy alongside her husband, Gabriel, Felicia’s world is turned upside down when a series of shocking secrets come to light.
These revelations not only threaten the stability of Genesis Records, but they also put Felicia’s cherished family name in jeopardy.
As the stakes rise, viewers will be left questioning whether Felicia will prevail against the odds or will the fallout from betrayal cost her everything she holds dear?
Viewers can also expect gripping performances from other Mzansi talents such as Nay Maps, Gaosi Raditholo and Kealeboga Masango among others.
Shirley Adonisi, director of Local Entertainment Channels for M-Net, shared: “It’s all about family, power struggles, love, faith, all set in the powerful and highly contested gospel music industry which is very relatable to Mzansi.
“Mzansi viewers must gear up for an emotional roller-coaster of a ride.”
∎ “Genesis” is set to air on Monday, April 21, at 7.30pm.
