Set to premiere on 31 October, the show also features Cindy Mahlangu, Thapelo Mokoena, and Zikhona Sodlaka, who join Lerato in what is expected to be a blockbuster series. But that's not all.
The celebrations continued as the actress pulled out numbered balloons to mark reaching over 200,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.

At one point, the actress had left the film industry to focus solely on content creation, and it's evident that her hard work has paid off.
