In KZN, the Zulu brothers pay homage to their ancestors and perform traditional rites for their new home, and all this family time prompts Qhawe and Mqhele to make peace on The Wife on Showmax. 

All the while, preparations are underway for Hlomu and Mqhele’s wedding, which encounters another obstacle in the form of Mandisa who has some nasty things to say to Hlomu.

She drops a bomb on her that causes Hlomu to rethink her marriage, however, our protagonist forges on into her doomed relationship, resulting in their final traditional ceremony, as shown in this week’s third episode (episode 24). 

As is the case with such tales, a happy event quickly turns tragic as the Majola brothers finally get their revenge, much to the Zulu family’s despair.
