Get ready, rom-com lovers! Netflix has officially announced the release date for the next chapter in the wildly popular How To Ruin franchise. How To Ruin Love: The Lobola is dropping exclusively on Netflix on 19 December, and fans are already buzzing about what’s next for Zoleka and Kagiso.
Produced by the award-winning Burnt Onion Productions, the three-episode series picks up right where How To Ruin Love: The Proposal left off. Zoleka (Sivenathi Mabuya-Bukani) and Kagiso (Bohang Moeko) are about to face the ultimate test: navigating love, family, and tradition under one roof… and things are definitely going to get messy.
The series boasts a star-studded South African cast, including Tina Jaxa, Marjorie Langa, Shoki Mmola, Sello Ramolahloane, Dumisani Mbebe, Ayanda Daweti, and John Morapama as the ever-meddling in-laws. Adding even more spice to the mix are newcomers Tembinkosi Ngcukana and Zola Nombona, who bring fresh drama to this already explosive storyline.

What’s The Story?
As Zoleka and Kagiso prepare for the big day, they quickly realize that love comes with a price—and not just the lobola! Between a meddling grandfather, nosy uncles, a bossy rich aunt, and one very famous makoti-to-be, tradition, secrets, and pride threaten to derail the wedding plans. How To Ruin Love: The Lobola proves that when it comes to love, patience, forgiveness, and surviving family drama are just as important as romance.
