House of Zwide stirs drama with explosive paternity reveal
Johannesburg 27 August 2025— e.tv’s much-loved primetime telenovela, House of Zwide, is about to leave viewers on the edge of their seats with one of its most explosive and emotional story arcs yet — the “Who’s the Father?” storyline.
Simon’s sudden reappearance sends shockwaves through Dorothy and Molefe’s world when he claims that young Reasenzo is his son. Dorothy, terrified of losing the family she has fought to protect, denies the accusations and desperately tries to shut Simon out. But his persistence begins to unravel old secrets, forcing truths that can no longer be buried.
Molefe, blindsided and broken, battles anger and despair as Dorothy finally admits she once slept with Simon shortly before their marriage — though she insists Reasenzo belongs to him. Consumed by doubt, Molefe secretly agrees to a DNA test with Simon, keeping it hidden from Dorothy.
The results deliver a devastating blow. Reasenzo is not Molefe’s child, but Simon’s. This shocking truth shatters Molefe’s world, collapsing his marriage and pushing him into a spiral of heartbreak, betrayal, and hopelessness. As Molefe turns to alcohol in his struggles to cope, Dorothy crumbles under the weight of guilt and grief, left clinging to her son as her only anchor.
Beyond the drama, this storyline also reflects a deeper issue in South Africa — the pain of absent fathers and the importance of men who step up and truly care about being present in their children’s lives.
The “Who’s the Father?” storyline promises raw emotion, unforgettable performances, and a gripping exploration of love, betrayal, and family. Fans of House of Zwide can brace themselves for some of the most powerful and heartbreaking moments of the season.
Catch House of Zwide Weekdays at 7 PM, only on e.tv.
