SHOWMAX ORIGINAL DRAMA JACOB'S DAUGHTERS PREMIERES ON 23 JAN. 2025

Showmax continues to bring the best in original African storytelling with Jacob's Daughters, a gripping Tanzanian family drama filled with love, betrayal, and unbreakable bonds. The 13-part series premieres on 23 January 2025, with new episodes on Thursdays.

At the heart of Jacob's Daughters is a tale of four half-sisters: Nuru (played by Wisher Nakamba), Nana (played by Angel Mazanda), Caroline (played by Prisca Lyimo) and Candy (played by Sia Tarimo). They are brought together by their father, Mr Jacob (played by Cojack Chilo), but divided by decades of drama. The sisters are pulled into an emotional whirlwind of romantic entanglements, secrets, and struggles against their father's complicated relationships.

As conflicts intensify, the sisters find their unity tested when Mr Jacob falls for Diana (played by Ahlam Khamis Salum), a charismatically divisive figure. Diana's presence threatens not only their family bond but also the family's stability, forcing the sisters to confront their past and fight for their future.

Created by Leah Mwendamseke aka Lamata, the award-winning storyteller and director behind Big Surprise and Inside, Jacob's Daughters promises to captivate viewers with its emotional depth, richly drawn characters, and relatable themes of love, loyalty, and resilience.

SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS RELAUNCHES DAILY FLIGHTS TO DAR ES SALAAM

Johannesburg / Dar es Salaam, 16 January 2025: The countdown is on at South African Airways (SAA) to relaunch daily flights between Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

“This flight is not simply a milestone for SAA and linking Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam through air travel; it heralds a bridge that connects two of Africa’s most influential economies and strengthens the friendship between our nations”, says SAA’s interim CEO, Professor John Lamola.

“It brings together industries, communities and resources, enabling us to unlock greater prosperity, foster collaboration and generate new opportunities for trade, investment and development for both our economies, and for the people of South Africa and Tanzania.”


Broader economic growth

Dar es Salaam is East Africa’s largest city by population size and is an important regional economic and logistical hub. It is also a gateway for popular tourist attractions in the region.

South Africa accounts for a significant proportion of foreign direct investment in Tanzania, and the two countries have a robust trade in agricultural products, precious metals, chemicals and machinery.

Lamola said the relaunch represents SAA’s strategic initiative to strengthen the airline’s presence across Africa.

“SAA’s regional network has emerged as a top performer, contributing significantly to the revenue of the SAA Group. More importantly, these regional connections are crucial for the broader economic growth of South Africa,” he said.

Flight schedule

Daily flights will depart OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg at 10pm (SAST) and arrive at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam at 2.30am (EAT). The daily service from Dar es Salaam to Johannesburg will depart at 5.10am (EAT) to arrive in Johannesburg at 7.55am (SAST). Dar es Salaam is one hour ahead of Johannesburg.

Lamola said the schedule of seven weekly return flights has been engineered to accommodate both point-to-point and connecting passengers.

Consolidating SAA’s regional network

In November last year, SAA expanded its services to Harare (Zimbabwe) and Lusaka (Zambia) to 12 flights per week, up from 10 and seven flights a week, respectively. Flights to Lagos (Nigeria) and Accra (Ghana) have been increased from three to four times a week, while SAA is flying to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) five times a week. SAA also began flying to the DRC’s mining hub, Lubumbashi, in November.
