Some of South Africa’s favourite actors, such as Sthandiwe Kgoroge, critically acclaimed Safta winner, Seputla Sebogodi, Yonda Thomas, Pearl Modiadie and Sparky Xulu will also appear in the tempestuous daily drama. New-comers Nkone Mamejta and Toka Mtabane will be launching their careers on the show.
