Diggers back for gold

SEASON 2: PACKS MORE DRAMA, ACTION New patriarch to ruffle feathers.

Set against the backdrop of the mining industry, Gold Diggers season 1 followed ageing miner Patrick Gumede as he took his first steps into the dangerous world of illegal mining. To provide for his family, he became increasingly drawn into the dark world of the Zama Zamas.

The Gumede family faced a series of conflicts, with family ties being tested, secrets exposed and the unfolding of a series of shocking events that led to the death of the family’s patriarch.

Season 2 picks up from the dramatic season-ending cliffhanger, with Ronald and Lucky escaping from jail, thanks to Big Boy.

As the new patriarch, Big Boy forcefully uproots the Gumede family from the homestead and onto the dusty streets of Soweto, Johannesburg, with the prospect of a new life.

Season 2 brings more thrills, captivating drama that threatens the family’s survival and the challenges of adjusting to the new world – without crime.
