The team that brought you the hit drama series, The Second Wife, is back with a new five-part series that will leave you cold. 

On 20 September 2018, Cynthia Jezi walked into a police station and confessed to killing her husband. This is not the story of how he died. Instead, it's the story of what happened after and why Cynthia confessed to a crime she didn't commit. This is, 'The Confession'.

All five episodes of the mini-series will be available under the podcast section of our website at 11:30 on Monday, 26 August 2019. 

On the show, powerful lawyer Phumla Sokhela is forced to question whether or not she convicted the wrong woman while balancing career ambitions and a challenging domestic life. The result is a rich tale of secrecy exploring the price people are willing to pay to protect their reputations. 

The Confession is written and directed by SAFTA-nominated scriptwriter Sihle Mthembu, who is also known for his work on shows like The Queen and The Herd.
