Side hustles and taking the plunge (in more ways than one) while trying to keep your wild and wacky family in check – it's all happening in the third season of SAFTA-winning sitcom Black Tax, which returns to BET Africa (DStv channel 129) on 01 July 2023 at 19h30 for more laughter and mayhem.
This hilarious original comedy follows the trials and tribulations of the close-knit Dlamini family where the daughter, Thuli (Jo-Anne Reyneke), is landed with the responsibility of being the main breadwinner.
Her sprawling extended family has helped her through so many of the challenges she's faced in life … and now it's pay-back time from the first pay cheque!
Black Tax is a light-hearted look at the culture of black tax – the good, the bad, and the laugh-out-loud aspects of this distinctly South African social phenomenon.
The first season saw Thuli being confronted with the reality of black tax and season two saw her trying to rise above it by upskilling herself as a single mom trying to forge her way in the professional world, season three is all about embracing it – and, for Thuli's militant daughter Sihle (Mamodibe Ramodibe), having to dip her toes into the chaos of it all to help share the financial burden of supporting a household with her mother.
This season sees Thuli taking on a side hustle that becomes all-consuming, forcing her to make the decision to leave the safety of her real estate job and try to make it on her own as an entrepreneur.
But the prospect of financial freedom comes at a cost, as it puts strain on her family life as well as her newfound relationship with Nkanyiso (Motlatsi Mafatshe).
We will also see the introduction of a new character Nomasonto played by Thembsie Matu.
The series was created by the multi-award-winning team of Meren Reddy, Joshua Rous, and Luke Rous.
Don't miss the third season of the riotously funny Black Tax, broadcast on BET (channel 129 on DStv) on Saturdays, starting on 01 July 2023 at 19h30. Get caught up on the first two seasons on Showmax. Season 3 of Black Tax will be available on the DStv Now app and on DStv Catch Up.
