2. Whose diamond is it anyway?
Imagine discovering the biggest diamond and not being able to live to reap the rewards? What a tragedy. The first episode introduces us to one of the biggest plot twist we’ve seen in a while. How do you kill someone and take credit for their discovery? Trust us when we say you will keep watching, hoping to see if the truth will ever come out! Will the diamond’s rightful owner ever get justice?
3.Tumi and Lindiwe’s relationship
As mentioned, the first episode was an explosive one. It will leave you with more questions than answers. Wait, what’s the connection between Tumi and Lindiwe? Are they mother and daughter? Did Lindiwe really kill Tumi or was it all a dream? These are some of the questions that keep us up at night (and obviously hooked on the show).
4. Cobra Mokoena

5. The best of both worlds
The River gives us insights into what life is like on different sides of the world. You have the Mokoenas, who come from a disadvantaged background. Viewers get to see how this financially troubled family navigates the different challenges in life. On the other hand, the Dlamini family lives a comfortable life. But you know, as they say, not all that glitters is gold. The Dlaminis might seem like they have it all, but things are not as they seem. These families definitely make the show worth watching.
These are just some of the reasons why we cannot wait to binge watch The River. If you want to see how the rest of the story will unfold, you better stay glued to Showmax!
From 2 July, the first 110 episodes of the The River are available to binge on Showmax. New episodes will be available every night, shortly after airing on 1Magic! Watch The River now »
