Battle of The Motsami Wives

From happily ever after to a baby race and Valentine's drama: Imani, James and Gugu's marriage grows thorns.

- SANUSHA SHAMDUTT

When friends Imani (Zonke Mchunu) and Gugu (Bukamina CeW bekhulu) decided to share a husband, they thought they were fixing problems, not making new ones! "Imani and Gugu came up with the plan of being in a polygamous relationship with James (Dingaan Mokebe) when Khumo (Seneo Mabengano), James's half-sister, wanted to remove Gugu from their company - Mukwevho Mulaudzi Constructions (MMC) and then sent Gugu to the mental institution. It was Imani who then took Gugu back home to KZN, and that's when the whole plan started," explains Zonke. "Their aim was to kick Khumo out of the house, the company, and their lives. And because two is better than one, they decided that if Gugu married James, then both Imani and Gugu could work together as the Motsami wives, to make sure that Khumo is nowhere in their lives."

But as Zonke points out, "Things aren't as easy as Imani and Gugu imagined it would be, especially when family gets involved..."
