Season 3
eHostela returns for Season 3 starring a brand new cast and storyline, revamped into an anthology series with different faces and new stories within the same universe each season.
Previously set in the KwaZulu-Natal township of KwaMashu, the third season is set in Bergville and stars Siyabonga Thwala and Gcina Nkosi as his arch-nemesis.
Season 3 follows KaMabizela (Nkosi), a widow out for vengeance, as she takes on ruthless gangster Ngwadi (Thwala), the man who betrayed and murdered her beloved husband, Mdletshe (Tony Kgoroge).
One of the respected men in the KwaDukuza hostel, Mdletshe runs the criminal underworld with his friend Ngwadi, but when the two have a fallout over Mdletshe's plans to stop all criminal work at the hostel, Ngwadi takes extreme measures to retain power.
KaMabizela's bloody quest for justice puts a target on her and her family's backs.
Will KaMabizela get Ngwadi to pay back everything he owes her family, or will he get away with murder?
The season also stars Xoli Zondi, Nkanyiso Mchunu and Mduduzi Nombela.
In the Season 3 premiere: Having both agreed that they are done with the life of crime, Mdletshe plans to cleanse izinkabi off intelezi and give them a new lease on life.
He and Ngwadi pull off their last job.
Season 3 is an M-Net Original Production based on a concept by Mthunzi Dubazane and produced for Mzansi Magic by Rhythm World Productions.
