Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net says: “We are proud to be bringing back Isifiso for a second season, which is evidence of the quality of storytelling that our viewers have come to expect from Mzansi Magic. We can’t wait to see what unfolds this season and how viewers will react to the captivating plot twists and character journeys.”

What happened in Season 1

If you’re a fan of the show, you will remember that after Julia (played by Zinhle Mabena) told Siboniso (Melusi Yeni) that it was Bazothini who killed his wife, her sister, Nobuhle (Mbalenhle Mthembu), Bazothini turned the tables on Julia, leaving Siboniso to think that it was Julia who was the murderer. Bazothini had to take it a step further in order to complete her plan, pushing Julia down the stairs like she did Nobuhle. True to form, Bazothini frames her brother-in-law Siboniso for Julia’s death. 

Thinking her golden days are yet to come, and with all her efforts, can she get away with these murders? Having fought to get up from under her younger sister Nobuhle’s shadow, who is now torturing her from beyond the grave, Bazothini is betrayed by the one person she trusts more than anyone on earth – her husband, Mhlengi. 

But this betrayal comes with double jeopardy, it can either unite or divide the new power couple whose solutions often end in tragedy.

What to expect this season

This season, Isifiso audiences will learn that one wrong move can quickly turn even the best-laid plans into a nightmare.

Bazothini (Nelisa Mchunu) finds herself in a fight she never expected to fight – a fight for her husband Mhlengi (Ntando Mncube). New character Nokwanda (played by Linda Mtoba) is set to rock Bazothini’s world, alongside other new star-studded cast members such as Ntandazo Mndayi (Gomora) and Thandeka Qwabe (Isibaya).

Don’t miss season 2 of Isifiso, Mondays at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161), from 10 April.
