So much is happening in that small town, so let me get straight into it. This is the recap for the week 13-17 August 2007.
The build up
The theme that was highlighted throughout the omnibus was: The parents always know better. You must always listen to the elders, they always know better. Lettie’s parents told her Georgie was using her to gain more supporters. The news that Lettie supports PapaG and not her mom was all over the place. Lettie had to put the record straight by doing an interview on ON!
The Day of the elections
The 2 candidates have been campaigning and it was time for the people to vote. Ma’Agnes led his family in prayer, as soon as she said “Amen”, Slu lead PapaG’s pack. He was on the phone talking loudly so everyone can hear “Tell them the bus will pick them up and bring them to the hall in horizon deep hall! Georgie cares for his people.”
While the people were voting, Zeb was doing damage control over the “Lettie supports Papa G” story. The Matabanes were tense, Lolly instructed the cameraman to zoom into them. Georgie didn’t like the fact that his opponent was getting too much camera time. He told Slu to do something…
Slu started a song: Ayangena ayaphuma ayadidizela, ayesab’amagwala!! Georgie was doing a Madiba dance. When Zeb told them to keep quiet, Georgie told him that he can’t get people arrested for singing. .....ayadidizela, ayesab’amagwala!!
The voting was done and the results came in a day later… Ma’Agnes 10082 votes…. Georgie…10482 votes. Georgie was announced the new councilor of Horizon Deep. He gave a speech that he already done enough fighting in the struggle and now he’s the father, the father, the father of Horizon deep.
The Aftermath
Ma’Agnes accepted defeat and told Lolly that he can only hope that Georgie has the people’s interest at heart. Then stories started coming out. Apparently the people in the Georgie bus were given free chicken and a roll (how lame).
It then turned out that the number of ballots didn’t match the number of registered voters. Since the numbers didn’t balance, the officials were called for a recount. There were extra ballot papers with the same serial number and voting for Georgie. When the fake ballot papers started coming out, Georgie was speechless and Slu demanded that the cameras be off so he can give his response.
The recount made Eggie the new councilor of Horizon Deep. She recited her 5 commandments to which the people recited back to her. Shame they really like her..
The truth always comes out…
Troy (Nikki’s dad) came to visit Natasha. He came with some agenda telling Tash the Nikki implied that Frank has been abusing/molesting her (well he said Nikki hadn’t been comfortable around Frank. So I guess he planted that idea into Nikki’s head hoping that she’ll say Frank is abusing her, but Nikki targeted Calvin instead). What is this man up to??? Luckily Tash doesn’t believe everything her ex druggie hubby said and asked her daughter if her dad is telling the truth (bout her not feeling comfy around Frank). Nicky told her mom she didn’t tell her dad anything, “So your dad is lying!” she asked...
Nikki’s first instinct was to protect her father; by not actually saying his dad is a liar. Her mom kept on interrogating her and eventually the truth came out. I thought this Calvin came on to me story will take forever, but clearly Isidee don’t waste time. Nikki told her mom that she thought if she knew that Calvin was after her sexually that she’ll chase them out then it’ll be the two of them.
Tash was so angry at her daughter she told Frank that Calvin was telling the truth. Frank was relieved that his son was telling the truth. Nicky was told to apologize to Calvin, when she did. Calvin was not convinced that she meant it...
Troy came to visit again and demanded to see his daughter. He’s moving to Sydney and wants to take Nikki with. Huuwiiee good gaad she must just go!! She already agreed to going to Sidney, Australia. Tash obviously didn’t want her to go. Nikki ran away with her dad and left her mom a letter telling her (Tash) that she’s moving to Australia with her dad, since she asked her to grow up. So she’s gone and I hope it’s for good. I hope for her sake that her dad is really clean, that way we don’t see her again.
The forbidden Kiss...
It’s the fundraising event at the Duncan and people were looking stunning. Lee had on a beautiful red dress. Stella was in a totally sequined colourful dress. When Vusi arrived with Lettie, Siyanda greeted Vusi with a (baby) kiss. Lettie was shocked. I must say even though I was waiting for it to happen, but that kiss also took me by surprise. The kiss wasn’t discussed, Lettie just brushed it off, Vusi… well he just pretended that nothing happened. Eish asiyekeleni amadoda wabantu (leave another woman’s man alone).
Farrow is back…
She surprised Len by creeping up on him and gave him a kiss. Apparently Durban was boring for her so she came back. Yah it’s so nice seeing someone you haven’t seen them for a while (a looong while...sigh...)
Farrow is staying at the Bullers and was shocked when Paul left without putting his plate in the sink. She was more shocked that Maggie allowed it. Farrow has turned into Mrs. Muscle (all she needs is that orange suit); she spring cleaned the house and prepared a candlelit dinner. Told the housemates to sit in a girl guy order and demanded that everyone sit around the table. Paul hated the fact that he was given cold soup, and when he wanted to eat in front of the TV, Farrow told him NO…he took his plate and watched TV. I would also hate if someone came into my space and started mothering me…
Alec is off to Chad!!
Alec was still moping because he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he goes he looses Lee, if he doesn’t he lets his best friend down. So he confided in Q about his loose -loose situation. Q told Lee that Alec needs to go save his friend’s daughter. Q was convincing (as usual – those 2 are getting closer), Lee told Alec he can go save his friend’s family. Alec was happy and promised this was the last time.
Next thing I know Alec is in a prison cell and some guard is hitting Chippa (he’s known as Sibu) and the General is Dr. Mandla Sithole. This (politics) got a bit complicated for me but in a nutshell: Alec helped someone escape, but that same man Alec saved took $23 million, so the General thinks Alec has the money. He’s not releasing them until he has the money. I hope this becomes clearer as time goes.
Back at home, Lee is stressing because Alec hasn’t called in 3 days. He has one of those phones that catches signal wherever it is and he can be reached anytime. The General has his phone so Lee can’t get hold of him.
