Season 3
Last season came to a dramatic end with an injured Monde (Zola Nombona) making a run for it with the stolen diamonds, as Maki (Linda Sebezo) and her nemesis Deborah (Pamela Nomvete) came face to face in an explosive showdown.
Fast forwarding a couple of months later, Season 3 opens with a cliffhanger as Beauty's life is hanging in the balance with her son Njabulo (Mthunzi Ntoyi) spiralling out of control with guilt behind bars.
Monde wakes up in an inyanga's house who turns out to be a good Samaritan. Determined to start afresh, Monde decides to contact Simon (Thabo Rametsi) as she believes he's her ticket to a new beginning, as the couple go for happily-ever-after.
Meanwhile, Deborah has to deal with a potential suspension after Monde's escape, while nursing a gruesome injury at the hands of Maki Magwaza. Maki's revenge plot gains momentum, leaving the once powerful Deborah shattered and alone.
Tyson (Lorcia Cooper) is out seeking revenge from the man that stripped her of her dignity, while MaZ (Dawn Thandeka King) goes after Sharon (Lindiwe Ndlovu) for killing someone dear to her.
