7de Laan (2000–)

7de Laan is a long-running soap opera primarily focused on the daily lives and relationships of a diverse community, addressing social issues through individual experiences and interpersonal resolutions rather than explicit political advocacy, thus maintaining a neutral stance.

This South African soap opera naturally features a visibly diverse cast, reflecting the country's demographics, rather than through explicit recasting of traditional roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on community life and relationships, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without centralizing explicit DEI critiques.
