October at a Glance
Morena begins October under enormous pressure, and things only become more complicated as the month goes on.
He makes several decisions that change his circumstances, while Cobra’s search for him creates even more trouble. By the middle of the month, Morena is trying to adjust to a completely different reality, and it is clearly not an easy transition.
The Hlophe family also goes through a turbulent month. They begin by mourning one of their own, but the problems do not stop there. Bukhosi and Nomafu’s marriage continues falling apart, old feelings return for Bukhosi and long-hidden family secrets eventually come into the open.
Nomafu spends much of October trying to hold things together. She attempts to reconnect with Bukhosi and later tries to save their marriage, but there comes a point where she begins fighting back instead.
The Dlaminis face their own painful period. One devastating moment is followed by another, and by the final week, Andile is struggling badly.
Lindiwe also has another fight on her hands. After discovering that her latest adversary may be smarter than expected, she becomes increasingly desperate to protect her family and eventually delivers an ultimatum.
