As we mentioned in our coverage of
e.tv's 2017 line-up, Heist returns for Season 2 - but not in 2017.
It premieres next Tuesday (8 November) at 21h30.
Here's a recap the first season, followed by a preview of things to come:
In Season 1, gang leader, Talent (Jerry Mofokeng) and his counterpart Justice (Vincent Vilakazi) got fired from their jobs. They walked away with no pension and no dignity. Justice committed suicide.
Talent formed a gang of five men and one sassy streetwise girl and they planned a heist. The gang consists of Mark, the inside man (Sayitsheni Mdakhi), Merci, the con-artist (Mbali Ka Ngwenya), Flash, the get-away driver (Macebo Twalo), Cosatu, the bomb specialist (Warren Masemola) and 5Bob, the street hustler (Wright Ngubeni).
After a successful heist, Talent distributed some of the stolen money to the gang and a share to his late colleague Justice’s family as his “pension”. He stashed the rest away in a secret place. He then instructed the gang to lie low.
In Season 2 the gang fail to keep their new life of luxury under the radar. 5Bob makes sure people know he is a rich man, he hosts parties and starts indulging in drugs.
Cosatu associates himself with politicians and starts bribing them for tenders. Afraid that the gang members' wayward behavior will attract unwanted attention from the cops, Talent calls them to order and refuses to give them the rest of their share until they lie low.
The money woes continue as the gang members try to figure out where Talent has kept the rest of the money. Gang members turn against each other.
In the midst of the drama, one of the gang members is killed and no one knows who is responsible for the murder.
With the police on their trail, who will get to the money first? The law or a gang member?
