There’s a golden rule in the royal house of Thathe: don’t ever go against the ancestors. If you do, they mete out a severe punishment, as Mulalo (Sydney Ramakuela) finds out this fortnight. “Mulalo has been sitting on the throne since mid January when his brother Azwindini (Gabriel Temudzani) abdicated after the money scandal with the Venda King. The elders immediately instated Mulalo,” says Sydney. But it’s not a case of just sitting on the throne. There are protocols to follow and one, as dictated by the ancestors, is a river ritual that the new chief has to do to solidify his chieftaincy. There is just one problem…
NIGHTMARISH WARNING
Mulalo is scared of water and it’s giving him nightmares about the impending ritual. “Mulalo keeps seeing someone die in the river, he believes it will be him should he go through with the ritual. So he keeps putting it off, but the royals pressure him, warning the chief that it’s a bad omen,” says Sydney.
