Netflix Debuts the Official Trailer for the New How To Ruin Love Instalment: The Lobola
Ahead of its December 19 release, Netflix has unveiled the trailer for How To Ruin Love: The Lobola.
Zoleka (Sivenathi Mabuya-Bukani) and Kagiso (Bohang Moeko) have finally sealed their engagement, but with the Dzana and Phatudi families on the verge of a merger — and the occasion taking on a global spotlight — the real showdown begins, and nothing can prepare them for what unfolds when these two opinionated clans collide.
The much-anticipated lobola negotiations quickly descend into chaos as both families grapple with their own internal dramas, and with the arrival of Zoleka’s grandfather, Mzwamadoda (Zwelakhe Mtsaka), pandemonium accelerates.
The Phatudi family desperately attempt to measure up to the wealthy and sophisticated Dzana family, a task made harder by the self-proclaimed rich aunt, Doreen (Shoki Mmola), who is determined to assert herself as the Chief Negotiator of the family.
Gracing the screens in one of her final performances, Meme Ditshego embodies Mbazo, a brilliant, strategic businesswoman whose fiercely charismatic, delightfully unhinged energy adds spice to the conflict in Zoleka and Kagiso’s relationship, forcing Zoleka down a hilarious, self-destructive path.
Part of the expanding How To Ruin franchise — with all seasons and spin-offs available exclusively on Netflix — this new three-episode chapter from Burnt Onion Productions continues the hallmark blend of cultural clashes, uniquely South African humour, and heartfelt family dynamics.
Synopsis
As Zoleka and Kagiso’s families prepare for the ultimate union, tradition, pride, and secrets threaten to derail everything. Between a meddling grandfather, troublesome uncles, an opinionated rich aunt, and one very famous makoti-to-be, How To Ruin Love: The Lobola proves that the price of love isn’t just cows; it’s patience, forgiveness, and family drama served hot under the December sun.
