Good news, Mzansi! Lasizwe’s popular reality series ‘Fake It Till You Make It’ has been renewed for a third season – and the first episode premieres in just two and a half weeks!
This season, viewers can expect to see Lasizwe as they have never seen him before. A newly released promo gives us a glimpse of what to expect when the season premieres on MTV. Lasizwe is back with a bang, opening up to Mac G on his ‘Podcast & Chill with Mac G’ alongside his childhood friend, Ofentse. He later introduces us to his other sister and newest cast member, Shantel Mcunu when he and his brother, Lungile attend a family function that reveals some interesting and complicated family dynamics.
This season, the star can be seen dealing with issues from his relationship with his dad, to his relationship with his family as well as his personal state of well being. Season 3 was filmed under the backdrop of a global pandemic and we see Lasizwe and new cast members hold nothing back on how they have been dealing with the new normal.
“We started filming this season at the beginning of March when we started getting these pandemic scares. We quickly had to gather a lot of content to include in season 3. We are all going through a really difficult time but I am looking forward to showing viewers how I have been dealing with the pandemic as well as introduce them to new faces who have supported me during this time,” commented Lasiziwe.
This season, we are introduced to Shantel Mcunu, who joins as a new cast member on the show. Shantel has just recently given birth to a baby girl and there is secrecy around who the father is and what her own father knows about her surprise pregnancy. Khanyi Mbau appears as a guest star, as the siblings try to once again reflect on their “daddy” issues. The God Mother of Shantel’s child is actress Natasha Thahane, who also features in the show.
