It’s a couple more weeks till season five of  long-running drama series and multimedia campaign, MTV Shuga, starts and we cannot wait!

The series, which follows the lives of young people on the African continent, will be back in March 2017 and it has been revealed that Nigerian music star Seyi Shay will be joining the cast.

Season 5 of the drama is tagged “MTV Shuga: Down South” and will also star Given Stuurman, Ayanda Makayi, Stephanie Sandows, Winnie Ntshaba and Samkelisiwe Makhoba.
