Konings

A 1991 TV series of 20 episodes for SABC TV1. It tells the story of the fierce and often bloody struggle between the Groenewald and Roodt families for control of the Superspaar company, placed in the context of the larger political post-Apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Though it was not continued after the first season, it was later followed by the series Torings (1994), by the same author.
