History is repeating itself. Nkulu- leko (Nkanyiso Mchunu) was stolen from Thokozile (Nqobile Sipamla) as a boy, now she is doing the same by kidnapping his son Mepho (not seen). “It gets to the point where Thoko feels like she is alone on an island,” says Nqobile, whose character was shunned for her vindictive behaviour in 2020. “Everyone rejected her. She is desperate and feels as though she has nothing left, and that’s one of the reasons she kidnaps the boy. Her grandson represents hope for the future and a chance of her having some sort of a family.”
Only two people know that Thoko faked her death after she was stabbed in February this year: Nkulu and his girlfriend Fikile (Phindile Gwala), who has helped hide Thoko. Everyone else thinks that they’ve seen her ghost and ghosts can’t be arrested for a crime. “Thoko doesn’t care about hurting people she loves to get what she wants,” warns Nqobile.
THE SEARCH IS ON
Everyone panics at Mepho’s disappearance, especially Nkululeko, who knows that his mother is involved and regrets covering up her death. “There’s gossip that Thokozile was seen at the church. Nkululeko blames Fikile as she helped Thoko, so she is as guilty as his mom,” adds Nqobile. Nkulu even forces Fikile to get hypnotised to learn Thokozile’s whereabouts because he has had no contact with his mom after he told her again to get out of his life in April.
