Jozi-H is a Canadian-South African television drama series, which aired in 2006 and 2007.[1] Coproduced by Morula Pictures of South Africa and Inner City Films from Canada, the series was a medical drama set at an inner city hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa.[2]
The show's cast included Sarah Allen as Jenny Langford, a surgical registrar from Toronto; Vincent Walsh as Russ Monsour, a neurosurgeon from Winnipeg in search of a new start after the failure of his marriage; Neil McCarthy as Dr. Michael Bellman; Billoah Greene as Dr. Greg Nash; Thami Ngubeni as Dr. Ingrid Nyoka; Tumisho Masha as Dr. Zane Jara; Lindelani Buthelezi as Dr. Nthato Moroka; Louise Barnes as nurse Jocelyn Del Rossi; and Moshidi Motshegwa as nurse Nomsa Mangena.[1]
The series premiered on 13 October 2006 on CBC Television in Canada,[1] and ran 13 episodes until concluding on 2 February 2007.[3] Canadian television critics generally compared the show to ER, the dominant American medical drama series of its era.[1] [2]
The series was not renewed for a second season.[4] Producer Alfons Adetuyi criticized the CBC for doing far too little in his estimation to actively promote the series.[5]
In South Africa, the series premiered on SABC 3 in April 2007.[6] It was subsequently rebroadcast by SABC 1 in 2010.[7]
