Starting January 9 at 19h30, M-Net’s brand new local sitcom The Coconuts promises to have everyone talking and laughing. It is all about the Greenes, a white family whose lives are turned upside-down overnight.

After ignoring the warnings of a strange old man not to park their caravan on the burial grounds of his ancestors, they wake up to discover that they have all turned black. At the same time the maid has become white.

The Greenes panic and decide to start a new life as the Mbulis and that of course leads to many bizarre situations! The Coconuts pokes fun at day-to-day South African characters, relationships, prejudices and stereotypes.
