Mbali is determined to start afresh at Grahamstown University in Makhanda when her mother is exposed for corruption, nullifying her IT girl status and sending her straight to the cancelled list. And now she is forced to think of a reinvention strategy.
Unsubscribing from the drama in Johannesburg brings new challenges as she quickly becomes the talk of Grahamstown University. Throw in a couple of misfit friends, Jay (Prev Reddy) and Natalie (Micaela Tucker), who can be swayed to do just about anything with the right amount of convincing, and a new campus crush – Sivu Levine (Lunga Shabalala) – and Mbali is on her way to retain her clout… or so she thinks. What Mbali doesn’t count on are her haters, who will stop at nothing to bring her right back down to earth. Cue ‘Comrade’ Caesar (Mpho Sebeng), long-standing (read old) SRC president and Raeesa (Nicole Bessick) – resident gossip girl – who stop at nothing to expose Mbali’s shady past. The series features veteran actresses Baby Cele and Camilla Waldman taking on roles as complicated mothers to Mbali and Sivu, respectively.
Miseducation is produced by Burnt Onion Productions, behind Netflix’s hit series How To Ruin Christmas.
Watch the official trailer for Miseducation below.
