Sibongile & The Dlaminis S1-2
Mzansi Wethu’s first telenovela, Sibongile & The Dlaminis, was a runaway hit, with over two million live viewers.
In Season 1, Luyanda Zwane stars as Sibongile Mbambo, a young woman from the rural village of Ixopo in KwaZulu-Natal who becomes a domestic worker in the lavish mansion of the wealthy Dlamini family.
In Season 2, Nsikelelo Mthiyane takes over the title role. Sibongile is nursing a broken heart following her short-lived romance with Kwenzo. Will Phetheni find out about the love triangle she is unknowingly part of? Will Vuma ever forgive Deliwe and take her back? What of Nomalanga’s pregnancy and Gcina’s involvement? And most importantly, will Sibongile finally get to have her Cinderella moment?
SAFTA nominee Baby Cele (Shaka iLembe, Uzalo) and Lungelo Tyson Mathonsi (DiepCity) join the stacked cast this season, which also includes Brenda Mhlongo (The River), SAFTA nominees Senzo Radebe and Siyabonga Shibe, Royalty Soapie Award winner Vuyo Biyela, and SAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award winner Thembi Mtshali-Jones.
Sibongile & The Dlaminis is produced by Rhythm World Productions (My Brother's Keeper, Sibongile & the Dlaminis, Uzalo).
