‘Blood Legacy’ spears sibling bonds
In the South African drama series, family ties are pushed to their breaking point, testing the bounds of loyalty.
From the South African producer Gambit Films, known for Blood and Water and Unseen, comes a new drama titled Blood Legacy. The show is a remake of the Mexican series Monarca, and features a tale of power, betrayal, and family conflict.
Kin and kingdom
The story centres on the sudden death of the CEO of Spear Industries, found lifeless in the sugarcane fields of KwaZulu-Natal. His death triggers a battle for control over the multibillion-rand corporation among his three children—Khanyi Adesina, Mandla Ndlovu, and Siya Ndlovu. The siblings’ fight for power extends beyond the corporate world, involving deep-seated family legacies and lurking betrayals.

The cast also features Treasure Nkosi, Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, Pallance Dladla, Wiseman Zitha, and Unathi Mkhize.
