During apartheid, a piece of land had been allocated to the Van Reenen family who made their wealth by starting a banana plantation which worked with major supermarkets in South Africa. Now in the present, the land reclaimed by the community after a successful restitution claim, and is renamed Tiakeni (Build Yourselves) as a memento to the perseverance of the fictional Risinga community and success in taking back their land. The series focuses on a feud between the Mudau and the Baloyi families.
