After 20 years, Zoleka, who has now built her career and is a tech mogul, comes back to claim her life and the daughter that she lost, Qhawe, but she finds it hard to move from the past, as she learns that the past doesn’t let go that easily.
Thespians such as Andrea Dondolo, Sisa Hewana, Lunathi Mampofu, Zenande Mfenyana, Nasiphi Ntabeni and many more will soon grace the screens of mzansi’s television set while they unpack what promises to be a captivating story. The trailer reveals the themes of love and sacrifice in showing Zoleka making a sacrifice of leaving her family and newborn child while she pursues her career.
