It was never Zak’s (Bohlokwa Mpiti) intention to return to Johannesburg after his biological mom Ziyanda (Linda Sokhulu) kicked him out without an explanation following their long overdue reunion late in 2020. “After hearing her voice on the radio, Zak catches the first bus to confront his record exec mom for abandoning him – first as an infant and again as an adult,” explains Bohlokwa.
But when Zak walks into Ziyanda’s office building this fortnight, his fears get the better of him. “He’s afraid that Ziyanda will reject him once more. He leaves in a panic,” says the actor. While Zak gathers the courage to face his mother, he rents an apartment above Kilowatt nightclub. With time to kill, he contacts his ex-love interest Zinhle (Kealeboga Masango) and talks her into giving him a second chance. “They are doomed though: Ziyanda will use every trick to keep them apart as Zak and Zinhle are siblings,” says Bohlokwa.
