This week on Inimba, Qhawe (Ayakha Ntunja) confronts the truth, and it hits harder than expected. Azande (Siya Raymond) fights for his life and the power that comes with it. Meanwhile, the Mabandlas put their hopes on Zethu (Mpumie Khuzwayo) as the pressure mounts and what’s been building between Xolani (Ayanda Dawethi) and her can no longer be denied. The Mabandlas walk into a hearing that could change their lives forever and Zethu  throws a spanner in the works that could ruin everything for the Zondos.

Love at Second Sight tells the story of Lihle (Amanda Seome), who is engaged to be married to Philani (Nduduzo Zuma) only for her ‘long-lost first love’ Manqoba (Aluve Mjali) to return as her fiancé’s best friend.
