South African actress Zola Nombona will be acting in a new TV drama titled My Brother’s Keeper.
The 130-episode telenovela that is reportedly replacing Gomora is set to premiere on 23 October at 7:30pm on Mzansi Magic.
The show’s cast consists of Wiseman Mncube, Sdumo Mtshali, Nkanyiso Mchunu, Rosemary Zimu, Lindani Nkosi and Nelisa Mchunu.
According to the Mzansi Magic website, the new television show “tells the story of Nqubeko, played by Wiseman Mncube, the headstrong and overambitious son of a mistress who is tired of being side-lined by his father. Nqubeko decides to break the rules of ‘ukungena’ by going after his brother’s widow, Fakazile (played by Zola Nombona), the woman who holds the controlling power to the Shabalala family empire.”
“But Nqubeko’s mad quest for power and need for his father’s approval puts him on a collision course with his four half-brothers, threatening to tear down the Shabalalas and their future. Who will emerge victorious and who will be casualties?”
Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net said the following in a media release statement on the website.
