The Burfee Seller’s Daughters

As family secrets and past loves resurface, both sisters navigate the delicate balance between upholding the Mithaiwala heritage and forging their own paths.

Tzarina and Jaynab are the daughters of a successful Muslim confectioner, Osman Mithaiwala, whose House of Burfee has become a sensation in Johannesburg.

When Tzarina breaks with tradition to run her father’s business empire, she transforms the brand with modern innovations while honouring her family’s heritage recipes. In the meantime, her younger sister Jaynab’s messy marriage forces her to re-evaluate her life and forge her own path.

Their mother, Djamila, worries about their futures while tending to her own demons. And then a family secret surfaces that will test Osman’s relationship with his daughters.

The Burfee Seller’s Daughters traverses the delicate balance between family expectations and personal dreams. This is a love story of how the sweetness of forgiveness – much like burfee – can bring people together in celebration of what truly matters.
