Simi and Zamani’s love is blossoming but are we all rooting for it? The pair, who’ve gone through their unfair share of disadvantage in the city, have secretly shared a fondness and an unspoken sense of loyalty to one another since they met, the hash backdrop of city grit and struggle driving them apart at first and later shaping what’s become a bond of care and closeness between them. The city, however, doesn’t always encourage love. Too often it comes in the way and corrupts it.

Without many words it’s not difficult to pick up on a sense that there is something going on between Banzi and Simi. A series of unsaid words, lingering leers and pregnant pauses betray Banzi’s sense of self control. The guy is clearly falling for the young Simi. It’s all over his face.

One can also tell that while both Simi and Banzi have not admitted this longing, they both feel much too ashamed to even address it.

Does Simi also have feelings for Mr. Motaung? Does she see that he may be more than just fond of her? Will this affect her new courtship with Zamani?
