The star studded drama series which featuring Katlego Danke, Vusi Kunene, Robert Whitehead & Khanyi Mbau aired on SABC1 previously and will now occupy the weekdays 7pm slot from Monday 18th of April kicking off with season 1 followed by Family Secrets season 2 on the 5th of May.
According to a statement released by the channel, The Estate will return on the 1st of July 2022, with season 3. Viewers can expect more drama, suspense, and hard-hitting storylines as we commit to keep them entertained.
The show recently made news headlines after it was reported that the cast and crew had not been paid. Their salaries were apparently postponed three times by the producing business, Clive Morris Productions.
Several viewers have expressed their concerns about the show possibly being canceled if the payment issues persist. Phil Mphela later reported that the cast and crew had received their payments.
The show recently lost one of its talents following the untimely passing of actor Siyanda Sesimani. The actor died in hospital after being attacked at his home, during a home invasion. His passing sent shockwaves across the country.
In a touching letter, his mom Noluthando Sesimani, mentioned how much she prayed for his recovery. “To my pumpkin. If I only knew that this day would come, I had known to prepare myself for this day, the day it would be my last day to spend my time with you. Oh Lord, had you told me, because you knew, and I had no idea at all.
“Seeing you lying in that bed, bruised and in pain, helpless and disconnected to your true being. The Siyanda full of so much life and energy, always with laughter. How I wished you could open your eyes and say to me 'Titi' for the very last time. 'Say it again nana. Call me Titi,' she wrote.
She said theirs was more of a brother and sister relationship instead of a mother-daughter duo. “I would sometimes forget that I was your mother. It never felt like that to me. We had the best brother and sister relationship, that's what I always loved about us. I know you loved me my boy. You loved me very much. You were a happy chap, a dreamer, a lover, very inquisitive, always hyper and made sure you get what you want. You were a sensitive with a very big heart. You were my boy, my only boy. My first experience in motherhood when I knew nothing. I even named you after my Afrikaans teacher's child.”
