Vyfster (lit. "five-star") is the title of an Afrikaans TV mini-series by Hennie Human
There were two series: Vyfster and Vyfster 2 (or Vyfster II), as well as two films deriving from the series, Skollie[1] (1984) and Vyfster: Die Slot (1987)[2]

THIS IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED
There is a very misleading and skimpy entry on the title Vyfster in Wikipedia[3], which suggests the texts for the entire Vyfster TV series were written by Johann Potgieter alone.
However, IMBd has it differently, correctly naming Hennie Human as the series author, with Potgieter involved as scriptwriter from series 2 onwards.
The first series (Vyfster, 1982)
Series was written by Hennie Human, directed by Regardt van den Bergh and produced by Lesley Mannell and Sias Odendaal.
The leading characters are played by George Ballot, At Botha, Paul Eilers, Danie Joubert, Patrick Mynhardt, Emgee Pretorius, Pierre Knoesen, Tromp Terre'blanche, Carel Trichardt and Marius Weyers.
Rest of cast consists of Casper Badenhorst, Cathy Beard, Linda Biddell, Johan Botha, Andries Cornelius, Lochner de Kock, Joey de Koker, Sann de LangeSteffan Erikh, Margaret Fölscher, Christo Gerlach, Ryno Hattingh, Bettie Kemp, Kobus Kleynhans, Steve le Roux, Willem Loots, Dawie Malan, Louise Mollett-Prinsloo, Johan Niemandt, Daleen Otto, Nic Potgieter, Robin Smith, Friedrich Stark, Koos Strauss, Alwyn Swart, Flip Theron, Heine Toerien, Robert Travallyan, Dulcie van den Bergh, Philip Van der Byl, Alwyn van der Merwe, Selma van der Vyver, Brümilda van Rensburg, Wikus van Rensburg, and Nigel Vermaas.
