Magic viewers have been awaiting the return of the renowned high stakes drama, Rockville.
The wait is finally over, as season 4 promises higher drama, more action, and
twisted plots from July 10.
The famous
series, which contrasts the worlds of northern Joburg, with the
adrenaline-filled, bustling streets of Soweto, sees popular stars such as Shona
Ferguson play JB, Connie Ferguson as Mavis, Gail Mabalane as Vicky, and
Boitumelo Thulo as Mpho return for another season alongside other senior cast
members. This season also sees new characters debut with Sello Maake Ka-Ncube
appear as the new villain, Rolex, and Themba Ndaba as the crooked police
officer, Ngema. Another welcome inclusion is Ayanda Thabethe as the sultry
temptress, Aliyah.
M-Net’s
Head of Drama, Reneilwe Sema commented: “The theme this season is ‘journeys to
redemption’. Mavis tries to redeem broken family bonds, while JB, who has lost
everything, is desperate to reconnect with loved ones in the midst of startling
historic revelations.”
A first for
Rockville, this season also tackles a pertinent socio-economic issue which
is currently very topical in South Africa – that of teenagers dating older,
married men.
“This
season is set apart from previous editions, in that we now have two main
villains, whose paths eventually cross – making for some intense clashes,” Sema
added.
