Come Again is a travel documentary series that visits places in South Africa with unusual names. The presenter, Ntombi MaNgcobo ka Mzolo, goes there to find out the origins and the meaning of the name. These are names that make people say “Come Again?”, when they hear them and start imagining what that place must be like based on the name. The series goes deep into the name and the place and see if the name is indeed a reflection of what the place is like and how life is there. It is a celebration of creativity where we take a deeper look into the name; uncover any stereotypes and misconceptions about the place and really show what lies beyond the name.
