May The Best Woman Win

Precious goes from holding Zandile hostage, to drugging her to keep her infidelity secret hidden.

If there’s one thing that Precious (Lihle Dhlomo) won’t tolerate, it’s her frenemy Zandile (Sthandwa Nzuza) threatening to destroy her marriage with surgeon Thabo Dlamini (Meshack Mavuso) – at least, not without a fight. Seeing that Thabo refuses to divorce Precious or resume their whirlwind affair, Zandile plays her last card at winning the surgeon’s heart this fortnight. “With a smirk on her face, Zandile pulls Precious into a hospital storerooms for a chat and she tells her that she’s about to reveal Precious’s secret to Thabo,” reveals Lihle.

The warning is enough to send chills down Precious’s spine as the secret isn’t minor. It’s colossal: Precious went behind Thabo’s back and she had sex with his brother Sibusiso (Ntando Mncube) earlier to bear a Dlamini heir – their toddler son Mvelo – because Thabo is infertile. Considering the damage that the revelation will cause in her marriage, Precious begs and pleads with Zandile. When Zandile insists on telling Thabo the truth about Mvelo’s paternity, Precious goes to drastic measures to keep her frenemy’s mouth shut.

LOCKED UP

Precious thinks on her feet during the confrontation. She grabs Zandile from walking towards the door and the two women get into a nasty scuffle, in which Precious overpowers Zandile.
