Shadows of the past
APRIL
Boniswa begs Quinton not to drag her family’s name through the mud, Hlengiwe feeds Romeo vital information about Mthunzi, and Romeo’s investigation turns up a surprising fact and he meets with a man from Mthunzi’s past. Mlungisi lashes out when he feels that his family is taking sides, and Zinzile turns to someone unexpected for help after the uproar leads to an unsettling change in the Ngema home. New Voice reporter Walter gets hold of an inside source for an intriguing perspective on the prison fire that he’s covering, including allegations of bribery and corruption.
MAY
Xolile flips out when she’s told what Romeo has been doing, and someone has uncovered the truth about Mthunzi’s identity and he receives an anonymous email requesting a meeting. A potentially deadly encounter has a man begging, and Xolile raises an interesting point about her pregnancy. A vengeful man from Mthunzi’s past traps two members of the Langa family together to die, several fates are up in the air when paternity test time rolls around, and one man tries to cover his tracks. Xolile must keep up appearances when a family member lands in hospital, Romeo has a serious discussion with Dr Jameson about his future, and Chumani prepares to step into his father’s shoes. Zinzile paints herself into a corner when she lies about the situation at home but gets a helping hand from a guest at the Newtonian. Grace realises that Neo has gotten hold of the wrong end of the stick about her private life – but how will she make him let go? Gratitude leads to an unexpected kiss, followed by a punch-up. Lindiwe can only stare when she gets the latest news about what’s happening between her parents, and Stokkies gets kind-of fired twice in one day. Caiphus is taken aback to see his own face in The New Voice, and Walter gets an unpleasant lesson about the quality of his sources and he really should take a hint about checking out the people around him because a certain golddigger has that cash register sound in her head when she finds out who he is. Two men discuss whether the bro code can justify interfering in someone’s love life, and faces from The Credential return as Hlengiwe works on an exposé, unaware that someone close to her is hiding a huge secret. Elsewhere, Gloria is expecting a sign from Caiphus about their future any day now. Any day…
