Season 2
Empini is a South African telenovela revenge thriller series about a woman who infiltrates the shady world of VIP Security to avenge her father's betrayal, posing the question: how far are you willing to go for revenge?
Set in the dangerous world of the private security industry, the series is a high-stakes, action-packed drama about Ndoni Themba (Nambitha Ben-Mazwi), a deeply troubled private security bodyguard in search of answers.
In Season 2, Mpumi Mpama (replacing Siyabonga Thwala) plays her mentor, Khaya Bhodoza: a prominent businessman and political stalwart.
What if the comrades who raised you secretly orchestrated the murder of your father for their own political gain?
When the hot-headed Ndoni suspects her father's death was at the hands of his best friend, she embarks on a politically charged journey to clear his name and uncover the government conspiracies surrounding his murder.
In the Season 2 premiere, "Welcome Home": Ndoni and Khaya have some explaining to do to the police, as Masasa and Zenzele grieve Mzoxolo.
Meanwhile, the Bhodoza family is placed on lockdown.
Season 2 is a Showmax Original, produced by Crystal Pics TV.
