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 it 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 from series 2 onwards.

The first series (Vyfster, 1982)

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.
