About

The journey through Johannesburg starts always in the southern townships of Soweto and goes up to the north, west and east parts of the town. Telling the story of Johannesburg, the culture and history of South Africa is always a part of the show. The first Season has three episodes.

The new ORIGINAL, named Orbit Mzansi, will cover all aspects of South Africa and represents the country in it's name as well.
