Motherhood is not as seamless as it is often made to look. For some becoming a mother is a dream unattainable, for others it’s an unwanted burden. Some mother themselves while many others mother other people’s children. Either way, the sanctity and ease of motherhood is often a myth. The reality is harsher.

What could Ma’Gloria have done to Duma in the past? Did she abandon him? Seeing a side to Duma that is not perfect and vulnerable makes one wonder how the ever gentlemen Madlokovu was raised. Uqhamuka phi? Is his mom as genuine as she looks?

Then there’s Thandeka who is as ready as ever to be a mom. So desperate she’s been for motherhood, she put her poor hubby Sbu, under a strict baby making regimen.

Fast forward past an infertility scare, Thandeka found out that indeed their efforts had reaped and the seed had been planted!

Will Sbu and Thandeka ever catch break?
