About the show

Kronicles: First Citizen holds a funhouse mirror to the corridors of power, following a cast of larger-than-life leaders as they scheme, spin and stumble their way through the business of running a nation.

Biting, fearless and very funny, the series is grown-up satire with a distinctly South African bite — the kind of show that has the whole country talking on Monday morning.
