Scandal!: Yawa Lembewu

As Mthunzi becomes consumed by thoughts of revenge, Dambisa issues a heartfelt warning if he continues down this dark path, she won't be able to watch him destroy himself. Her words, however, fall on deaf ears, and tragedy soon follows. Mthunzi is left devastated when he finds Dambisa’s lifeless body along with a chilling suicide note.

Elsewhere, Ntuthuko’s personal life is spiraling. He pleads with Lihle to return home, but she refuses, standing firm in her decision. Fuelled by alcohol and anger, Ntuthuko confronts his mother over rumours of a new relationship, causing further tension within the family. Meanwhile, Dintle confides in Nhloso, voicing her concern that Lihle might miss out on her Matric dance experience.
