Xitsonga drama Giyani – Land of Blood returns for its third season next month.
It returns on Monday, 6 February, in its 21:30 timeslot, Monday to Wednesday on SABC 2 (DStv 192).
"Giyani – Land of Blood explores powerful, emotive and clear themes about land and answers the questions: who the rightful owner of the land is, who has the right to exploit the land," a press statement reads. "All these thematic views are infused with all the captivating backdrops of a classical telenovela – two warring families, a secret past and a forbidden love story between Khensani Mudau (now played by Mahlatsi Mokoena) and Musa Baloyi."
This season sees the introduction of the Khoza family, headed by successful lawyer Solani Khoza (played by Lesley Musina) and his former promo girl turned club manager wife Pele (played by Bokang Phelane). Zigi Ndlovu (as Dzovo) joins as Solani's son and Khensani's new love interest.
Nsuku Baloyi (as Mambeku) joins as Solani's sister and matriarch of the Khoza family and his two daughters Mizo (Nkateko Mabunda) and Zuri.
Reprising their roles are Rami Chuene (as Manoko), who continues with her manipulation and criminal activities and Ndivhuho Mutsila (as Richard), Linah Ngcobo (as Mhani Tsani), Noel Baloyi (as Mahlori) alongside Fumani Shilubana (as Vukosi) and Maduvha Madima (as Shoni).
In November, the channel said the show had begun production after going off-air at the end of May.
