MBUMBULU ON FIRE!

The drama in Shria’s life isn’t the only thing heating up Imbewu – there’s “deceit and betrayal unlike anything you’ve seen before!” says Kajal

Shria (Kajal Maharaj) has had the worst luck when it comes to relationships on Imbewu. So it’s no surprise that after her marriage to her fiancé Jason (Byron McNeil) was called off just a month ago, the no-nonsense, fierce and career-orientated Shria has dived head first into her work. But like a moth drawn to a flame, Shria’s eyes find those of a new suitor who’s about to not just turn her world upside down – he’s going to burn it to the ground!

“Shria’s latest suitor is Kellerman (model and acting newbie Wade Cowan), a washed-out character and failed actor who is now taking on the role of Maluju Oil’s newest angel investor,” says Kajal. What Shria doesn’t know is that Kellerman is actually her father Sunil’s (Jack Devnarain) enemy. “A relationship begins to blossom and the chemistry sizzles between the two when they keep bumping into each other at Maluju Oil’s office and in meetings. Kellerman is, in every sense of the word, Shria’s rebound to her failed relationship with Jason,” explains Kajal, whose character isn’t hanging to her ex and her failed relationships. Shria is ready to get back on the horse right away.
