Having paid her dues on shows like The Estate, Scandal!, MTV Shuga and Justice Served, Dineo Rasedile steps into her first lead role as Gugu Mabaso in Showmax Original Law, Love & Betrayal (LLB).
The series follows a tough township lawyer who forces her way into a slick, family-owned firm in Sandton where she finds that everyone has secrets, just like her.
“Each episode’s cases are fascinating,” said Dineo. “While fictionalised, this show isn’t make-believe; we’re quoting real acts and cases. I learned so much while filming the show; it was eye-opening to realise how little we know about the law.”
TV presenter and actor Nimrod Nkosi (Utatakho, Isibaya, The Queen) plays Gatsha Gumede, the founder of Gumede & Associates, where a succession battle is brewing. SAFTA-winning presenter and actress Pearl Modiadie (Rhythm City, Generations, Scandal! and Black Tax) plays Ayanda Gumede-Williams, Gatsha’s ambitious, cutthroat daughter, one of the most brilliant lawyers at the firm.
The 13-episode legal drama moves between Tembisa and Sandton. Created by executive producer Thandi Ramathesele (a longtime producer on 7de Laan), LLB is produced by Izwi Multimedia and directed by Nthabiseng Tau (Youngins, Outlaws) and SAFTA winners Nthabiseng Mokoena (The Wife, Gomora, Fatal Seduction) and Christo Davids (Spoorloos, Legacy, Hartklop).
