Pamela Nomvete has joined the local South African prison drama series, Lockdown with the second season that will start on Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) on Monday 9 October.
The veteran actress will make her appearance as new Governor Deborah Banda - a character who holds a dark secret.
The first season of Lockdown wrapped with a shocking finale that saw Warden Sharon Zulu hauled off to jail and Governor Beauty demoted from her position.
The new second season picks up in the aftermath with Lockdown that will dig deeper into the characters that make up Thabazimbi Women’s Correctional Service; from the tough-as-nails, Tyson (Lorcia Cooper) to celebrity jailbird Monde (Zola Nombona) and Mazet (Dawn Thandeka King).
The inmakes will continue to find their feet and fight for survival in the midst of the shake-up that is caused by new arrivals on the scene.
Fresh from another
prison enters the most dangerous inmate in South Africa, Maki Magwaza (Linda Sebezo). Maki seeks revenge on the woman who took her son away
from her and everyone will soon get to see that spilling blood is something
that comes naturally to Maki.
Thabo Rametsi plays Simon Banda,
Deborah’s clueless son.
Meanwhile, returning to
Thabazimbi after her brief stint as a free woman is Mazet, who is relishing her
role as the new boss while Tyson deals with loss and Monde is occupying herself
with protecting her diamonds at all costs.
"The first season of Lockdown explored the world of women behind bars and the challenges they face as they
strived to see another day," says Reneilwe Sema, the M-Net director of local entertainment channels.
"The second season will show prison in its layer upon layer
of secrets, hopes and pain all shared by those confined behind bars."
