IN THIS ISSUE
Shaz is blindsided when Vho-Mukundi takes advantage of everyone’s generosity, the royal family begin to suspect that Azwindini is behind the attack on his estranged wife Susan, and Susan and her son Vhutshilo set a trap for their would-be assailant. Shaz is upset by VhoMukundi’s confession, Kgosi’s bank statement makes Itseng furious, and James and Imani get a phonecall that turns their lives upside down. Azwindini is losing the trust of his people, a mysterious stranger is keeping tabs on Gugu, and Susan is suspicious of Vho-Masindi’s presence in the royal house.
Gugu is blissfully unaware that a newcomer is going to mess with her life, and Vho-Masindi says that it’s only fair for Susan to sit at the head of the dinner table since she’s the host. Nomasonto tells Gugu that they’re sisters, and Susan exposes Vho-Masindi. Gugu and her lover Azwindini’s lives are about to be ruined, Marang finds out that Kgosi gave Bubbles more money, and the royal family have no choice but to offer Susan a hefty settlement. Kgosi has an idea that could save everyone financially, and Gugu is mugged.

(Azwi Rambuda) and baby Kenosi (a doll is used). “The war started when Tenda framed Tshireletso for murdering Tshireletso’s brother (Burnett Gededger) last year,” says Nay, reminding viewers that Hulisani had a gambling and drinking problem and tried to hold Mpho for ransom. Instead, Tenda killed Hulisani. “Tshireletso’s motives for taking Mpho and baby Kenosi hostage are simple: Use them as leverage to get Tenda to confess to the police that he forced the only witness to his crime – (Mmabatho Mogomotsi) – to change her statement and frame
Tshireletso for the murder,” says Nay. Mpho Hulisani Moipone ULTIMATE PAYBACK Determined to prove his innocence and make Tenda pay for his sins, Tshireletso ignores his girlfriend Itseng’s (Angela Atlang) advice when she tries to negotiate with him to back down on his threats and release Mpho and baby Kenosi. Instead, he increases his demands, says Nay. “Tshireletso doesn’t listen to Itseng because he feels that this is the only way to make Tenda pay. Itseng seems to be caught in the middle. She understands why Tshireletso is doing all of this, but she is also extremely unhappy that he has chosen to solve everything through kidnapping and violence,” explains the actor.
The clock is ticking and Tenda stresses when he starts running out of time to meet Tshireletso’s demands and save his family. But what Tenda doesn’t know is that Tshireletso isn’t planning to harm his hostages. “He wouldn’t go to the extent of hurting a woman and a child. Rather, his ultimate punishment involves making sure that Tenda rots in prison. He decides on this because he wants to punish Tenda for taking him on a ride and making him fool. But his biggest reason for such a punishment is to make sure that Tenda pays for murdering his own flesh and blood,” says Nay. A LIFE ON THE LINE While Itseng falls apart watching this unfold before her, Tshireletso can’t hide his glee as his plans take shape. Tenda considers confessing, says Nay. But in a shocking turn of events, a shooting takes place at Tenda’s house that leaves him fighting for his life. “All I can say is this was definitely not part of Tshireletso’s plan and our viewers won’t believe how it goes down. This could change everything for the two men!”
