October at a Glance
October opens with Lulama still trapped in addiction and Vuyokazi becoming increasingly desperate to save her. Her efforts sometimes make matters worse, but the situation reaches a turning point when Lulama is finally forced to confront the pain she has caused and later comes dangerously close to ending her own life.
Msimelelo also has a difficult month. His relationship with Zimkhitha deteriorates badly, and the life he thought he wanted begins crumbling around him. By the time Zimkhitha throws him out, he is forced to confront everything he gave up.
The final two weeks shift more attention towards Hlumelo, Thulani, Nobomi and Ntando. Zimkhitha discovers information that could be used against Hlumelo, Thulani and Nobomi move closer to reclaiming what belongs to them, and Ntando finds his way back towards Nomaflower. By 30 October, Hlumelo and Nozuko are under pressure and Zimkhitha’s true loyalties are being questioned.
Biggest Gqeberha: The Empire Storylines This October
Vuyokazi Fights to Save Lulama
Vuyokazi spends much of October desperately trying to pull her daughter away from addiction.
Her methods become increasingly extreme as Lulama continues resisting help. The situation reaches its darkest point when Lulama is overwhelmed by guilt and tries to take her own life, with Vuyokazi arriving just in time to stop her.
The crisis finally forces the family to accept that helping Lulama will require more than simply keeping her away from drugs.
Lulama Begins Facing the Damage She Has Caused
For much of her addiction struggle, Lulama has avoided fully confronting the people she has hurt.
That begins changing in October. Images from her past trigger genuine remorse, and memories of her actions start haunting her. Although recovery is still far from simple, she begins understanding how much damage her addiction has caused to herself and those around her.
Msimelelo Regrets Choosing Zimkhitha
Msimelelo’s dream of building a new life with Zimkhitha falls apart quickly.
She becomes increasingly dismissive of him before eventually throwing him out. Left without the relationship he sacrificed so much for, Msimelelo is forced to remember the family he walked away from and the life he may have destroyed.
Zimkhitha Turns Against Hlumelo
Zimkhitha’s relationship with Hlumelo becomes increasingly dangerous as October progresses.
Hlumelo begins openly questioning whether she can be trusted, and Zimkhitha later gets access to damaging information on his phone. Instead of protecting him, she takes what she discovers to Thulani and Nobomi, potentially giving them exactly what they need to fight back.
Thulani and Nobomi Fight for What Belongs to Them
Thulani and Nobomi eventually reach the point where they are no longer prepared to allow other people to control their future.
Although they initially struggle to find support, they continue working behind the scenes. By the end of the month, they step forward as the heir and heiress and begin taking control of what they believe is rightfully theirs.
Hlumelo and Nozuko Lose Control
For much of the story, Hlumelo and Nozuko have found ways to survive every threat that comes their way.
That confidence begins disappearing in the final week of October. A chaotic event exposes betrayal, their world starts unravelling and they find themselves trapped without an easy escape.
Nozuko becomes even more suspicious when she begins believing Zimkhitha may be secretly working with Thulani.
Ntando Finds His Way Back to Nomaflower
Ntando enters October still carrying feelings for someone from his past, and it soon becomes clear that Nomaflower remains important to him.
After an awkward start, business brings them back together. Their connection gradually improves until they begin discussing a possible future and finally reconcile at the end of the month.

Editorial Note
This article has been updated to reflect the show’s Wethu+ broadcast following the channel transition in September 2026.
Older Gqeberha: The Empire teaser guides may refer to Mzansi Wethu, which carried the programme before Wethu+ launched. The September article remains under the older channel name because those episodes span the previous broadcast period.
The October storyline continues directly from September and leads into the final ten episodes airing in November 2026.
