Mavis Mabaso (Connie Ferguson)
A staunch Christian, she’s managed to give her family a decent life but financial difficulties test her deep-seated commitment to what's right and good for her family. This coupled with her daughter’s prostitution lead Mavis to the bottle.
Her drinking gets progressively worse, and her son, Oupa realizes reaches out - first to Sis Ribs, and then to Pastor Morake in vain. Then he pleads with his sister, Lindi to return home. When Lindi agrees, Mavis lashes out angrily at her, and Lindi is forced to confront her own overwhelming feelings of guilt and failure.
Everything goes back to normal when Lindi and Sandile get married to start a new life together, but their marriage is haunted by Lindi’s past. Mavis and Pastor Morake decide to give their romance another chance, but Pastor Morake is diagnosed with cancer. As Mavis takes control of her family, Oupa brings a ‘homeless’ Mpho (JB’s daughter) to stay with them, which further tests her faith.
