It’s one thing to learn that your husband of 30 years is living a double life. It’s another story to find out that he has mistress and a 17-year-old illegitimate son – who is a patient at your workplace. Let’s just say that the scenario hits Durban Gen’s receptionist MaCele (Thuli Zulu) like a ton of bricks this fortnight.
During MaCele’s chat with medical intern Mbali (Nelisiwe Sibiya), the doc inadvertently reveals that temperamental bone marrow transplant patient Msizi (Nhlankanipho Mhlongo) is the son of MaCele’s paramedic hubby Bab’Gumede (Sfiso Sibiya). “That’s not the half of it,” says Thuli. Mbali discloses that MaCele and Bab’Gumede’s nurse son Calvin (Bhekisizwe Mahlawe) has run tests to check whether he can donate his bone marrow to save Msizi’s life.
It turns out that Calvin is a match, proving that Bab’Gumede is Msizi’s father, explains Thuli. “MaCele is shellshocked, more so because Calvin also hid the truth from her! She demands answers,” adds the actress. And it’s in that moment that Mbali realises that MaCele had no clue of the news and that she has just ripped the Gumedes apart for good.
