Joining Modiadie on this tv show is the renowned actor and tv presenter Nimrod Nkosi.
Nkosi portrays Gatsha Gumede, the founder of Gumede & Associates, where a power struggle over succession is developing.
“It’s a unique show set in the glitz and glamour world of law, generational wealth, and scheming,” said the actor.
"Law, Love and Betrayal" also delves into the riveting story of a tough township lawyer, Gugu Mabaso - portrayed by Dineo Rasedule - compelling her way into a polished, family-owned firm in Sandton.
Within the firm, secrets abound, and tensions rise as family members battle for control and dominance.
“While obviously fictionalised, this show isn’t make-believe; we’re quoting real acts and cases. I learned so much while filming the show; it was eye-opening to realise how little we know about the law,” said Rasedule.
