Fans got hooked to the Sunday night drama in 2019 just after the first episode and are now looking forward to more action in 2022.
The show follows South Africa's first female president, President Lufuno Zandile Mulaudzi played by the talented, Florence Masebe.
Lufuno is determined to end corruption, turn the country around come hell or high water.

Actor, Warren Masemola played the role of Bridget Manaka's (Masasa Mbongeni) husband, Thabang Manaka on the show.
Viewers saw Thabang, a fallen hero, sacrificing his life for the people towards the end of the season to make amends for his past mistakes.
Great stuff to look forward to in the new year. Just hope the whole season is not based on a day's event last the first one

A big thank you to the whole cast and crew on The Republic for doing this fun yet daring project.
