Two men come into direct opposition and from different backgrounds, a stark contrast from Fourways to Cosmo City to the courts. Characters Zola, and Jama, are introduced. Meet Zola: 17, a math genius with a temper, in his matric year and accused of murder, played by Tabile Tau and Jama; a brilliant ruthless, materialistic criminal lawyer whose life takes a drastic turn when he must take on a pro-bono case, played by Pallance Dladla. This season, viewers will experience the cross-section of real life, from elite to underclass. Both men meet at a threatening point in their lives, each desperately wanting to save themselves.
An integral piece of the puzzle is Gugu Mbuyaze (17yrs), a young girl with a potentially bright future and a big heart. Gugu connected to Zola, a light force in his life, but also a sign of how society keeps turning a blind eye. Gugu and Zola's whirlwind romance is cut short by death, and a trial takes place to uncover hidden truths and expose the killer.
Entle Mbali Mlotshwa joins the show as Betty, fiancé to Jama; is a prosecutor and wants to see justice done. Thabo Malema plays the role of Lwazi Nzimande, an incredible civil litigator with a big heart. He met his wife Ivy, played by Petronella Tshuma, at a law school, and she is the whisper in his ear telling him to fight to get his name on the door of the Meyiwa and Associates law firm. Dumisani Mbebe plays the role of Solezwe Blose, passionate, charming, powerful, and wise. He dreams of becoming the President of South Africa but knows how much work that is going to require.
Viewers can also look forward to appearances by Marcus Mabusela, Zikhona Sodlaka, Sparky Xulu, Cedric Fourie, Lebogang Motaung, Lihle Ngubo and Mbali Mapumulo.
The channel recently debuted a new documentary reality television series, Fooled By Love which airs on Mondays at 6 pm. Fooled By Love features stories of people who have made sacrifices in the name of love, and these stories are told through a narrator.
In relationships, when two people are in love, it is often expected that they do crazy things, big and wild gestures, at times against their better judgment, all in the name of love! The sacrifices range from buying a boyfriend a car, rejecting family, friends, and children, co-signing to a multi-million-rand bond with a hot flame, splurging inheritance funds on plastic surgery, quitting a job, and high-end clothing, all in the name of love. Love or infatuation can make us do crazy things, but what happens when you wake up to the foolish decisions made in the drunken stupor of love and realize the decisions and ramifications were not genuinely yours but rather a consequence of being fooled by love?
