Peacekeeper

Dineo plays mother hen to her stepdaughter Felicity and keeps Msizi from making a bad business decision.

If nothing else, Dineo Price (Kgomotso Christopher) knows how to protect those who’re close to her. “Dineo is a cold, calculating, ruthless businesswoman,” says Kgomotso in the warmest tone, “but when it comes to being a mother hen, there’s no one like her. Dineo made mistakes with her first child Sefako (Zenzo Ngqobe) when she was a teen mom. She has learnt over the years and combined with her business skills, she’s like a lioness.” And that protective urge will come in handy when everyone comes knocking on her door for help.

FOE TO FRIEND

Dineo’s history with her eldest stepdaughter Felicity (Mary-anne Barlow) is no secret. “They’ve done it all – business fraud, covering up murders… committing murders. They’ve got this strange friend-foe relationship, but it works and they’ve become closer since the show started,” explains Kgomotso. There are no crime cover-ups at the moment though. Instead, it’s matters of the heart that Dineo will be helping with. Felicity’s romance with cop Marco (Nico Panagio) has reached the proposal stage but Dineo is apprehensive at first, knowing that Marco could still discover that they murdered his cousin in November. “Dineo gives sound advice, she is normally the family’s moral compass,” says Kgomotso. So if she gives Felicity the thumbs up to wed, know that she’s thought through every potential pitfall. Or has she?
