A Polygamous Wedding Occurs “The Black Door”

0

One wedding, two brides, a groom, and a missing Rebecca. Thenjiwe carries guilt for Bra Gibb’s death while Nolitha brings a new life into the world. And this is all in one episode coming Friday. Will Khaya take Mam Rebs’ life?

Friday 28th April will mark what would have been the end of season 1 for The Black Door. But with the show’s never-ending dramatic twists and turns, this season continues until late May.

The Black Door

From this Thursday, The Black Door will reveal a story hardly seen on South African television, where one man marries two women- at the same time.

It’s the beginning of day 1 of the wedding, but not all is as it seems when Nolitha laces Nandi’s drink with muthi, attempting to kill her and have Khaya all to herself. While all this unfolds, TK introduces Thenji to his mother during the wedding. At that very moment, our favorite Matshidiso discovers that Mubheni is married. Drama!

Day 2 sees TK faced with a hard decision involving Thenjiwe. Nolitha goes into
labor and Khaya is forced to tie up a loose end, leading to the biggest question – Will he kill Mam Rebs? All this, in what was supposed to be the final episode of The Black Door!

According to ZiMoja, The Black Door is coming to an end soon. A source told the publication that the show has been canceled due to a decline in viewership

“Well, they started on a good note. People were excited about seeing something different on TV, but many others complained about the steamy sex scenes and the channel decided to tone it down,” a source tells ZiMoja.

“But then that affected the show negatively, as people signed up for the steamy and the provocative. This caused a decline in viewership,” the insider adds.

Mpho and Themba

The show recently announced that Sthembiso ‘SK’ Khoza who played Sabelo Cele, better known as Beast was leaving the show.

“It has been 6 months since SK joined the show as Sabelo Cele, better known to the viewers as BEAST. This coming Thursday will see the end of the road for SK on the show.

It has been a roller coaster ride with SK’s role, as he has trended on various social media platforms with his cunning, calculating, and smooth acts with his “tongue” amongst other things. Sabelo has been in rivalry with Khaya, a role played by Zamani Mbatha, and also had intimate relations with Mam Rebs, a role by Linda Sebezo.

The Black Door

Sabelo then gets into conflict with both characters, who then end up killing him, the big question being, who killed Sabelo? This is after Sabelo hangs it all in front of the Mabuzas, telling the real reason he came to Mpumalanga, which was to revenge his father and Rebs is gutted,” said the channel.

Lynn revealed that she sometimes thinks about the people who planned her son’s murder.

“He didn’t just die. Someone planned his death,” she said. “Are they happy? Do they regret it? Are they laughing about it? Do they think they made a mistake or are they glad they finally did it?”

“If I did that, it would swallow me up as a person. I’m not God and I can’t point a finger at anyone. I just wonder how and why everything happened. But what do I know? I’m just a mother?” she told the publication.

A couple of weeks ago, the Forbes family issued a statement warning the public of peddling unverified reports surrounding the murder probe of the late rapper.

As a family, we empathize with the grief experienced and we understand your pain,” the statement reads.

“We are aware of the growing public discontent related to the progress which has been made in the investigation. However, as a family, we are deeply concerned that irresponsible actions, accusations and assumptions may cause more harm than good,” the family Continued.

“At this time, we call on the Megacy to mourn responsibly and ask for patience so that the law enforcers have the space to do their job. We humbly request that you continue celebrating Kiernan’s life, preserve his memory and continue his legacy through his music. Your joyous celebration of his life gives us comfort. ”

The family has also been alerted of scammers posing as the family “Lastly, we would like to bring to your attention that there are false requests for donations and investments from people posing as members of the Forbes family. We have not opened any donation accounts or requested investments,” she added.

A Glimpse At Connie Ferguson’s Return To “Generations”

0

SABC 1’s flagship soapie Generations: The Legacy is believed to be seeking ratings as e.TV soapies like Scandal are hot on their heels to overtake it and become the second most-watched soapie in the country. As such, it is believed that creator Mfundi Vundla is scrabbling to make sure this does not happen.

The first part of the plan was getting rid of one of its original cast mates Musa Ngema who played the character of Mazwi Moroka. As reported:

Connie Ferguson

In March 2023, it was already speculated that Musa Ngema was set to bid farewell to his beloved character Mazwi Moroka. As reported:

Scores of viewers and tweeps at large feel as though Vundla is desperate for ratings and very much sleeping on Mzansi’s new and fresh talent. Social media have been abuzz since yesterday and evidently, not everyone is jumping for joy for the return of Karabo Mokora and Tau Mogale.

Connie Ferguson

However, the return of the pair will definitely shake things up and also see some actor (s) exiting the show. Reportedly, Mazwi Moroka who is portrayed by Musa Ngema will be leaving the show at the return of Karabo Moroka and Tau Mogale.

As such, on Friday, 21 April 2023, Mazwi finally met his end in the world of the story as he was killed when he saved his cousin Paul from his kidnapping.

In light of the funeral arrangements, the cast of the show is set to have a shakeup as it will mark the return of one of the soapie’s most beloved couples, Karabo and Tau, played by Connie Ferguson and Rapulana Seiphemo. As such, the soap has teased the first look at the return of the first half of the beloved couple.

Connie Ferguson and Rapulana Seiphemo 2

First, look at Connie Ferguson’s return to Generations

Currently, Generations: The Legacy is facing the battle on which grounds will Mazwi be buried. As such, his body is set to arrive at the Moroka mansion in the upcoming episode. However, this is not the highlight of the episode by any means.

This is as the soapie recently took to Twitter to share that the highlight will mark the return of Connie Ferguson as Karabo Moroka.

Seeing as she might be returning alone in this episode. It is unclear when Rapulana will make his own return. However, what is known for sure is that the actor will be there for the funeral. This is as images have already been leaked of his return.

Reported before:

Recently, a social media user took to Twitter and shared the first images of Connie and Rapulana reprising their beloved roles as Karabo and Tau. The images confirmed that the two would make their return during an upcoming Moroka funeral taking place.

Penuel the Black Pen is a podcaster who is best known as the co-host to DJ Sbu’s YouTube-based podcast Hustler’s Corner SA. However, besides his co-hosting duties, he also has his own podcast, The Penuel Show, which recently got numbers following his interview with Vusi Thembekwayo over his apartheid stance and his beef with Sizwe Dhlomo.

However, it seems that his upcoming episode is set to make numbers again. This comes as the upcoming interview is set to be with the aspiring actress and influencer Bianca Coster. Coster gained notoriety on social media as the face of the contentious Twitter account known as Chris Excel.

Penuel labeled a bad host after Biannca Coster’s interview

Penuel The Black Pen

Social media went into a furor when the trailer for the upcoming interview on The Penuel Show confirmed that the upcoming guest on the show was set to be none other than Bianca Coster. This is as Bianca as a digital content creator and influencer might be unknown.

However, her face is one of the most recognizable faces on Twitter. This is because she is the profile picture of popular Twitter troll Chris Excel. The account sits with over 1.6 million followers and counting. This a fact that could have made Bianca popular if most of the tweets from the account weren’t misogynistic and mainly woman-hating.

Penuel The Black Pen

As such, Bianca has not been able to find work due to this fact. This is as she took to Instagram to share the effects of her face being the profile picture of the notorious account. Bianca shared via her caption in part that:

“Over the past few years I’ve been ridiculed, insulted & just downright tormented because of the Chris Excel account on Twitter.”

She then added:

“The damage he has caused to me & my family has been both humiliating and emotionally draining. Constantly having to validate my innocence & disassociation with the account.

Before there was Chris Excel there was me. A person in the flesh with dreams, goals & a full life to live. It’s my turn to tell my story and in that hopefully bring awareness towards cyberbullying.”

A post shared by Bianca Coster (@bianca_coster)

Following the trailer of the interview going viral, Bianca’s fears were proven to be true as it seemed that there were a flock of male Twitter accounts that lambasted her for sharing her story.

Moreover, some accounts then labeled Penuel a bad host for the manner in which the trailer was cut which shows Penuel to lack empathy for Bianca despite already sharing that he disagrees with Chris Excel’s actions. There were those that felt the interview would land better if Penuel was not the one conducting the interview…
