The publication adds that Nhloso will leave Gauteng and return to KwaZulu-Natal after his mental state deteriorates.

According to the storyline, Nhloso is obsessed with his ex-wife, and he will kidnap MaDlomo after she rejected him. This will reveal the depth of his psychological unravelling.

The soapie shared an upcoming footage of Nhloso attacking MaDlomo's baby daddy, Mthunzi (played by Bongile Mantsai), and warning him to stay away from MaDlomo.
