Matheba will be joining the cast along with other African stars such as Fantana – a Ghanaian-American rapper and all-round superstar who quickly makes her mark on the group, and Luis Munana from Namibia, former Big Brother Africa contestant and entrepreneur extraordinaire who brings the heat from the onset. 

“The all-star cast of season one return to face a lot of unanswered questions like what happened between Diamond Platnumz, Andile Ncube and Zari Hassan after the chance encounter between the trio in Diamond’s home.” 

Young, Famous & African fans will also get to find out what the status of everyone’s friendships is after many arguments, loads of drama, and a pot stir or two from Khanyi Mbau and Nadia Nakai.  

“Also worth looking out for is the appearance of model and socialite Sebabatso Mothibi, as well as the supermodel and actress, Rosette Ncwana, both of whom share a relationship history with Andile.” 

Given the drama and tension from the previous season between Andile and Zari, it will be interesting to see how this plays into the existing dynamics of the show. 

Season two of Young, Famous & African launches only on Netflix on 19 May 2023 worldwide.
