Story and Full Cast Of Mzansi Magic’s Soapie ‘IsiBaya’

The Isibaya story is set on the backdrop of the taxi industry, with two young lovers who are torn apart by a century-old feud between two powerful families. 

From a valley, long divided by too little resources, the bitter feud continues in Egoli, the city of gold, as the Zungu’s seek to build their fortune.

The promise of riches and old cycles of revenge tears them apart but one man’s quest for reconciliation & peace leads them all to understand that they can prosper together.

On the East side of the Valley live the Zungu’s, a household headed by charismatic and influential Mpiyakhe and his sister Mkabayi who run a successful taxi business. Mkabayi runs the rural taxi yard; she is a fierce and powerful matriarch who has sworn herself to celibacy after the assassination of her betrothed when she was a young girl. She is loyal, traditional and under the tough exterior warm hearted.

Mpiyakhe’s 2 rural wives run the Bhubusini compound. Mpiyakhe lives in Soweto with his 4th wife Iris, a beautiful but scheming & manipulative woman, she has no children but is the stepmother to Mpiyakhe’s two children – Thandeka and Jabu – from his first wife, who died in a taxi clash 14 years back. Mpiyakhe runs the Taxi business and is chairman of the East Side taxi association.

On the West side lives Samson Ndlovu’s family, they too operate a big taxi business, but are less successful than Mpiyakhe. Samson is a bitter man, but hides under a veneer of tradition; his brother Mandla is bloodthirsty and wants vengeance on the Zungu’s.

Isibaya is full of suspense and intrigues; keeps you wanting more.
