House Of Zwide

Just when Nkosi (Wanda Zuma) was thrilled that his girlfriend Shoki (Shalate Sekhabi) and his pregnant ex-lover Mampho (Gaisang Noge) were on good terms, things take a turn for the worst. As usual, the two women get into an argument and Shoki hits below the belt with insults. “She says that no one likes Mampho because she is rude, which is why Mampho’s mother abandoned her,” says Gaisang, whose character loses her composure. “Everything happens so fast. Mampho slaps Shoki and Shoki pushes Mampho away from her in retaliation…”

Mampho falls down the stairs and blacks out. Shoki immediately calls an ambulance and fabricates a cover-up story while Mampho fights for her life.

CLASH OF THE LIES

Instead of coming clean to Nkosi about the incident, Shoki lies. She tells him that Mampho mistakenly fell – and Shoki just happened to be at the Zwide mansion and rescued Mampho and her unborn baby. “Shoki is embarrassed that she let her emotions get the better of her. Who fights with a pregnant woman anyway?” says Gaisang. But the truth catches up with Shoki.
