The wait is almost over and fans are in for a treat as the countdown begins for the upcoming third season of Kings of Jo'Burg. While awaiting the new season, actress Connie Ferguson tells all about her role as Veronica Masire on the series in an exclusive sit-down interview with Briefly News.

Ferguson spoke about the growth of her character and how Veronica transitioned from being a family member to the leader of the cartel.

"A lot happens and a lot has happened, so we will see Veronica take over the Masire family and business as the season picks up seven years later since the end of Season 2."

Connie also excitedly shared that in this new season, Veronica Masire will bring a lot of fireworks and also make hasty decisions that ultimately put her family in grave danger.

Ferguson didn't want to give away any spoilers, but did say Veronica "becomes very irrational, especially with the decisions she makes that put the Masire family in danger, not to mention Mo's son."

Connie added that viewers will get to see the different layers of Veronica and the multiple enemies she creates through her choices.
