Skwizas is a new comedy starring talented industry heavyweights, Lillian Dube; Mara Louw; Mary Twala; Rina Nienaber; and Dolly Malunga, as they bustle through the idiosyncrasies of life in Skywards Retirement Village. They grapple with dwindling pensions; lost careers; jealousy; and the prospect of late-life romance. These hilarious, entertaining, funny oldies laugh at themselves and meet life head-on and win. “Who said growing old meant growing up… you are as old as you want to be!”

“Shooting Skwizas was like living life – it was precious; dangerous; fun; painful; joyous; nerve-wracking; victorious! And like living life. I loved every moment. This really made me realise the abundance of acting talent we have in South Africa. The crew certainly looked forward to each and every single day with the Skwizas and I am sure our viewers will enjoy this comedy,” said Producer and one of the lead actors, Lillian Dube.

“Our Sunday comedy slot has proved to be popular with our viewers. We have given them exciting sitcoms/comedies from Moferefere Lenyalong; Stokvel; Ga re dumele, just to name a few. These are laugh-a-minute programmes on the channel, and we will continue putting a smile on your dial with these home brewed comedies,” said Lebo Malete – SABC2 Publicity.
