Mzali Wami S1-2
Set in Johannesburg, the drama series Mzali Wami centres on Ntokozo, a young girl who became entangled in an elaborate human trafficking ring involving her biological mother.
Following Season 1’s dramatic ending, Season 2 picks up with Ntokozo and Joyce returning home to begin a new life as mother and daughter, but the warm welcome they receive doesn’t necessarily signal a happy ever after.
Lungelo Mpangase (The Wife, eHostela) returns as Ntokozo, while Royalty Soapie Award winner Lusanda Mbane (Scandal!) steps into the role of Joyce. SAFTA winner Loyiso McDonald (The Queen) joins the cast this season as Lungelo.
Mzali Wami was created by SAFTA nominee Dineo Ranaka and Siphosethu Tshapu.
