South African slang for a documentary film or TV programme, following the common South African English pattern of adding '-ie' to abbreviate words. You might catch a doccie about wildlife on a Sunday afternoon or binge a true-crime doccie series on a streaming platform. It's relaxed, conversational, and very much part of everyday South African speech — the kind of word that makes perfect sense the first time you hear it.
Let's watch that doccie about the Soweto riots — I heard it won a ton of awards.
