According to Sunday World, the new series which is set to premiere on the 1 of May 2023 on 1Magic at 8:30pm, tells a love story told in isiXhosa. It follows two star-crossed lovers as they travel through life in search of their destiny.

As for the third wife, MaMpinga, who is the youngest wife to the King does not really get involved into the family drama.
The former House of Zwide actress took to her Instagram timeline to announce the exciting news, captioning the post:
“A MOMENT FOR GOD. An opportunity to give God the glory for all He has given me. May this journey continue to glorify Him. I am on my knees with gratitude.”
