Over the course of the record-breaking first season, taxi driver Mqhele (Bonko Khoza) has gone from South Africa's national husband to the new face of gender-based violence. How will Hlomu (Mbalenhle Mavimbela) react to his abuse? And will Nkosana (Mondli Makhoba) finally find a way to get his wife Zandile (Khanyi Mbau) out of jail, or will the Zulu family's crimes catch up with them?
After a one-week break, Season 2 of the first Showmax Original telenovela starts 17 February 2022, inspired by Dudu Busani-Dube’s novel Zandile the Resolute, her sequel to the bestselling Hlomu the Wife.

With LaConco opening up to Sorisha for the first time about her relationship with former president Jacob Zuma, it's already clear Season 2 is going deeper than the first, with just as much drama.
