Dineo Langa was with the show for 2 season.
The new season starting tonight is #TheEstateOn3’s third season
Apologies
"After this, she will exit the show for the remainder of the season. Dineo Langa is leaving the show to pursue other on-screen interests. While it will be sad to see her leave our Estate family, we wish her all the best with her upcoming projects."
The channel and production company has thanked Langa for her amazing contribution to the 3rd season of the show. "We would like to thank Dineo for the incredible work she did on the first 3 seasons to bring Mmakoena into the hearts and homes of S3 Millennial viewers."
Khayelihle Dom Gumede, the executive producer, said during the launch of the new season that the storyline would continue to be centered around hot topical issues in South Africa.
“Season three and four will be around the crisis of the government and governance. This season brings in the voice of many people who are above the bread line but still not thriving in the new South Africa. We know that we have an unemployment crisis in the country, of which is mostly the youth. We know that young people in South Africa are locked out of opportunities so telling those stories is incredibly important for us,” he said before sharing how some of the characters would be developing in this season.
“We have a really great spin on some of the characters that have been existing in this world. We’ll be seeing new love this season, love in places you don’t expect. There’s also heartbreak this season. There are some couples that we love who are not going to be together,” he shared.
The Estate is back with a bang this season. As the new season premiered, we got introduced to some familiar faces joining The Estate, including Dumisani Mbebe in the role of Melisizwe Nobengela, the head of the Nobengela household; his wife Lerato Mvelase in the role of Noxolo Nobengela and their children; Samke Makhoba in the role of Gcinekile Nobengela and Siya Xaba in the role of Vukani Nobengela;
