@Jabu_Macdonald said:
"Akere, she doesn’t want to share the inheritance."
@TalkLawMonare responded:
"Hopefully they invested in research on the SA legal system, and will not copy some American fictional stuff. That's if it doesn't revolve around love and betrayal involving office politics. It's a great cast, though."
@yakwa_mzizi replied:
"As long as Ayanda is suffering, I am happy."
@kgothii_leo said:
"Love Ta Nimrod Nkosi. He always brings fire to the screen every chance he gets. I can’t wait."
