Season 2
Ring of Lies is back for another round as the ring gets tougher and the lies get darker.
The revelations of last season have left the Majola family reeling. Will they be able to pull together and let love prevail, or will the secrets from the past and present continue to tear their family apart?
This season sees the arrival of newcomer Rendani (Fulu Mugovhani), a feisty, sexy musangwe fighter who defies her conservative father to pursue her dream of becoming a champion boxer.
Also new this season is Mangaliso Ngema as Vusi Cele – Sli's biological father - and Anga Makubalo, who takes on the role of the charming musician, Buzwe.
Sli tragically terminated her unborn baby last season, only to discover that her and Neo weren't actually related. In Season 2, Sli is grappling with the consequences of that decision and is haunted by recurring nightmares which prompt drastic measures.
Ring of Lies was created and produced by Penguin Films. Directors for Season 2 include David Golden, Thabo Khambule and Darryl Fuchs and the creative producers are Roberta Durrant, Janine Cornelius and Mandilakhe Yengo.
The script writing team for Season 2 includes Tristram Atkins, Thalami Cekiso, Paul Crilley, Raffaella Delle-Donne, Caroline Doherty, Roberta Durrant, Darryl Fuchs, Margaret Goldsmid, Peter Goldsmid, Shirley Johnston, Sinovuyo Jwacu, Lerato Khanye, Bongi Ndaba, Antonia Reible and Tina-Louise Smith.
The Ring of Lies theme music is by Sphethu Records and Select Play, with show music composed by Murray Anderson.
