Death by Sticky Pudding

Favourite this post


Hey y'all, im back again with your Isidingo Recap (23-27July)... today being the 30th July, SABC 3 re-launched their look. I was hoping Isidingo would take a free ride... The opening sequence is still the same with Cherel.... Im giving up on them now... 

Back to the re-cap, I'll start with the dead and hopefully gone plots (Q, Barker and Goodwill)..... pics were taking forever to load

Q did not make it

Oooh hooo… Q didn’t make it to Milan. What an anti- climax. Siyanda found him and kidnapped him for the weekend and took him back to Maggie. I don’t know why she keeps treating Q like he’s a lil’ boy. And why doesn’t she stay with her brother anyway. If I was Maggie, aint no way I’m gonna trust someone who tried to Bamboozle oldies from their hard earned cash, to stay in my house. Kinda reminds me of the Fidentia scandal, when people don’t have respect for other people’s money.

The way forward?? Q has to find work in 2 weeks to pay pack all the money he took, including the ticket money. Q needs to get a J-O-B!!!! 


Barker’s last day of community service

Barker completed his community service with satisfying results. Thanks to his coaching skills, Mrs. Cele house won’t go up in flames. Mrs. Cele called a meeting with the other group who got the contract and lured them into her camp. So the 2 sewing circles have now become one.

Barker was happy with the outcome; Lee was relieved that her hotel won’t be part of a scandal. So everyone is happy at the end…Yep, happy ending!!

Barker took Harry out to lunch and told her all about his victory. Which had me thinking?? When is Harry going to get a man?? She and Barker need to be friends with benefits, coz I really can’t see them together.

Ms. Cele held most of her meeting in isiZulu, Barker asked Harry to organize him a isiZulu coach. Which also reminded me, what happened with Lolly and Maggie learning Zulu? Did they also forget about that?? That means that Len wins the bet, he told them they wouldn’t last a month. 


Badwill

Ok where do I start with this boring plot? Goodwill is in jail and its all thanx to Slu. Georgie won the battle, he visited Goodwill to tell him that he was the only king, is the only king and always will be the only king of Horizon Deep, Jozi and the whole SA. Goodwill bowed down and accepted Georgie as boss. He (Goodwill) agreed to spend time in jail and let Georgie reign.

Slu and Bafana had a plan but when it came to the crunch, Slu didn’t keep his end of the bargain. When Bafana was hired by Georgie (yes he’s Papa G’s new man), he told Georgie that he should watch who he works with, referring to Slu of course. Slu was supposed to kill Georgie right? When Georgie found this out, he wasn’t impressed. He wanted to give Slu another smack down, but Slu was quick to playback a conversation he had with Georgie. Let’s just say this conversation would free Goodwill. So what does Georgie do?? He gives Slu a promotion. Slu now runs all Goodwill’s businesses and shares profits with Georgie. He’s also Bafana’s boss!

Mina I’m just glad this whole thing is over.


Georgie’s got kids??

I don’t know about you, but if Georgie is this rich why doesn’t he have a house?? He and Gugu always eat food at his shebeen. While having breakfast, Gugu asked Georgie if he has kids. He has kids, but doesn’t remember how many children he has??? What?? How does a man not know how many he has?? He also told Gugu that he doesn’t have access to any of his children. This bothered Gugu so much that she got up and left after hearing this crazy revelation.

Georgie on the other hand is trying to be a good man for his women. He told her that he wants to leave the world better than how he found it. Meaning he will probably does some charity work!


The Matabane’s in a sticky situation

Vusi and the Matabanes felt that building the new housing developments is taking forever because of some red-tape from the council or municipality. So Vusi arranged a meeting with Mr. Shongwe the Councilor of Horizon Deep. Shame uMr. Shongwe was this old wrinkled man, who had the meeting with Vusi at The Rec.

The invisible Mavis made her curry special, added some curry powder and no chillies. Maggie was kind to divulge the recipe to Mr. Shongwe who was chowing down the curry like it was his eehhm…last meal. Maggie kept on interrupting Vusi’s meeting with Mr. Shongwe. Mr. Shongwe licked his fingers and his spoon and Maggie took away his plate. She came back with a desert sticky desert with custard. Mr. Shongwe took a couple spoons of the pudding…Vusi tried to put in some words in between the sticky pudding. The next thing………................   Mr. Shongwe face fell and was stuck to the sticky pudding bowl...!! It was a funny site, this old man was cast for Isidingo and he was told the he must put his face in a bowl of sticky pudding with custard. What a sweet death...hehehehehe

The paramedics came and they couldn’t save him. Agnes was panicking obviously. She didn’t want to see or hear the word pudding! Lettie, Zeb and Nandipha were having debate about the fact that chilli killed Mr. Shongwe.

Now since the councilor is dead, a new one must be elected. Ma’Agnes and Vusi felt that Zeb will be a perfect candidate for the elections. Hmm Zeb in a high power position…?? I guess we’ll have to watch his head and ego grow bigger and bigger.

On another end: there was a gas leak at the mine. I know this will be expanded this week.


The Xaviers are back

The Xaviers are back with a bang. Frank asked Natasha if they could formalize things between them. This means that they can officially move in together. Natasha was happy with Frank’s request. The hurdle was to tell the kids and both agreed to tell their kids separately.

The kids on the other hand are getting along. Nicky just got her driver’s license and she been playing Calvin’s driver. She had lunch with her ex-druggie dad who promised her that his life is back in order. Nicky got excited and had hoped that this meant that her parents can get back together.

Calvin passed his mid-year exams. He got A, B and C’s and the “parents” were very proud of him. To celebrate, Frank took his son out to a fancy restaurant and ordered him French champagne or as Calvin says it…”Frenz zhampagne” – you gotta love him. When Frank broke the news to Calvin, he was shocked at first but accepted his dad’s decision with terms and condition. Basically he was happy that his dad was happy. They even did their own rendition of "I love you daddyyyy!!!!" - by telling each other that they lahv each other... ncooh..

Nicky was an absolute b!tch to her mother! Not once did she consider her mom’s happiness. She was being a selfish jerk telling her mom that she wants her to go back to her dad so they could be a happy family! After Natasha tried to reason with her daughter, Nicky asked her to choose between her and Frank (who does she love more). Natasha chose her daughter for obvious reasons! She told Frank and Calvin to move out and find their own place.

That really made me angry? I put myself in Tash’s shoes: I would obviously choose my daughter (i'm not a mom so I cant really relate), but I would be so miserable, hoping that she realizes that i’m not happy and hope she feels bad and lets me do my own things.

In the same breath, I put myself in Nicky’s situation (again I have never been in the situation) but I wouldn’t like my mom moving on. I’ve seen friends with single parents cope and some don’t. So it is a difficult situation all round.

Who do you support here?? Nicky or Natasha?? Are you in a similar situation? Please share and let us know how you deal or would deal with the situation (if you find yourself in it)?? 

That's it my people... holler  at me here or at lahvee@tvsa.co.za

Spread the Lahv....annnndddddddd...

GO GOLD!!!!!

hi, I wont comment on all the others, but you're right Nikki was being a total B!tch. The child is purely selfish true and true, I don't even wanna put myself in her shoes, I mean she aint some lil kid who doesn't understand how the dating world works, she old enough to realise that her parents cannot get back together, I mean, she can see that her mom is happy with Frank, she has been fine with living with the Xaviers, why now?

hey guys before you judge unikki having been through the same thing myself, it is not an easy situation especially when they finally decide to settle down, you just don't feel comfortable about it, bt at the end of the day the parents do whateva they want to do even if you dont agree, she is just fortunate in that her mother discussed it with her first before marrying the guy, give her some time she will soon realise that frank is the best man for her mother.

@ babygal, true enough Ive never been in that situation but I think that its unfair for Natasha seeing as she always puts her daughter first, u know, talking 2 her and all and even giving up the chance of moving in with her man!!
ohh and I loved Calvin last night, that girl needs someone 2 give it to her straight!

Thanks lahv for the update.

What a sweet death......  hai wena bo!

@kamvaj, I could have not said it better myself. Nicky is just being selfish and as much as I empathise with them, her mother is letting Nicky dictate to her how she should live her life and it is wrong. and it is not like Nicky grew up with her father always around, does she not see how happy her mother is, and how she is getting along with the newly found brother, Calvin?

shame, I have never been in the situation but I can feel for Nikki. Guys remember how badly Nikki's taking her parents' split, she still loves her father and still doesn't understand why the two of them (tash and father) can't get back together. Until her feelings over her parents' separation are resolved, there's no way she's going to accept Frank as her step-dad cause for her it spells FINALITY and she still wants to hang on to the hope that her parents will get back together.

Natasha's feelings matter, of course and she and her ex-husband just need to sit Nikki down and make it clear to her that they will not be getting back together and it doesn't mean that Frank is replacing her dad's role in her life blah blah blah.

At this point in the soapie, I completely understand where Nikki's coming from and until her issues are dealt with, Frank and Tash can't get married.

What is it with white mothers asking their children for decisions that should be made by them f*ck! I mean, I know should my mother even asked me that I wud say HELL NO OVER MY DEAD BODY! but if she jsut told me they movin in I rant and rave ofcourse but Id deal with it! Isidingo is actually staritng to irritate me now with their story lines! I used to watch it everyday but now its been 2 weeks i juss catched up on it here.....its going down....watch...

@ Bored, I totally get u. Not to make dis a race thing, bt for real, black parents dont ask u abt dat *bleep!*, dey jst go ahead and do as dey please. Wen i was 19, de same thing happened, i ddnt like de dude my mom was with, bt i know now dat i dislike anyone who's not my dad...
Point is, had my mom asked me, I wud have gone and thrown a fit and not considered her feelings and de fact dat she cant grow old alone, bt i'm older and wiser, bt at Nikki's age, dat *bleep!* ddnt matter to me...

Sdingo is boring now lately, but the Nicky story is keeping me glued. I think she's being childish, i mean if she was still in primary school i'd understand her naiveness, but she's finished matric for crying out loud! She's seen what her dad has done to her mom, and she still expect them to get back together? Which planet is she living in????Haaai maan, she must grow up now!!!

yhu hayi wethu Nonkez u killing the ISIDINGO carma, uyakuthanda qghithi ukuzithela amanzi izinto. as for Nikki i think she is just feeling that once Frank and Natasha hook up permanently she (Natasha) won't be as dedicated to her as she was even before Frank came into the picture.

I honestly donot understand why Frank all of the sudden wants to formalise things between him and Tash, i mean mna i was happy with things the way they were (and i speak for everyone in that household) ngoku esisibhanxa wants to complicate things for the already messed up kids (Nikki and Calvin), as for Goodwill i say good riddens hayi shem u bhuti ebesele eqala ukundibora now.

Does anyone know what happened to ON TV , coz i hardly see those employees and i miss Rajesh (what's the latest on him anyway?)

Yhu before ndilibale that old man who died muching pudding, i thought that was a classic (pure work of art mtshana) and just for that i  give the writers of that episode a Creativity Captured Award. perhaps Generations and Muvhango or is it Munyango (as so delicately expressed by a certain RGB presenter) could learn a thing or two about making a best out of a dull situation.

Hey lahvee, unjani lahv!! missed the omni,thanks for the recap!! an old man died from eating pudding???? hayi the rec should be closed down, nguloyaMavis the ghost who killed tht man, tht old man's family need to take her to court maybe we'll get to see her finally, what if Mavis turns out to be mam' cathy, since she's also does cooking for a living. the nikkitash story:  the problem with parents these days is they always need permission from their children for everything its wrong!!!!!

Lahvee
01 Aug 2007 02:45

Hey Belz.. u may be on to something. Maybe the Ghost Mavis had an affair with this Mr. Shongwe, he dumped her & she put poison in his pudding. Or Mavis is getting back at the Matabanes for always telling her "Mavis do this, Mavis do that" so to get back at them she decided to kill Mr. Shongwe at The Rec!! Next is Mrs Qunukwebe!!

I think Nikki is on drugs just like her father, well the leaf does nt fall away from the tree

Amen to that Lahvee. I think "Mavis the Ghost" is tired of the Matabanes, and she thought poison is the only way. 
That Nikki gal is a self centred stupid b***ch, excuse ma french but its what i wanna say. The gal duznt think of anybody else but herself. Duz she really think her "Dopehead" father really has a chance with Natasha?? I think u also right cocktail, Like father like daughter.

Hey Lahv, i saw the new look as well and the donkey takes position 1. it cracked me up the first time i saw it and i'm getting over it now...

as for Isidingo, i don't want to lie, i know nothing.......

Segololo
01 Aug 2007 08:49

the scene of the pudding death was excellent! The Matabanes discussing was the best scene in a long time! I was laughing so hard I needed to lie down from the painful stomach!

I think they need to show us Ididingo bloopers! I am certain that scene had everyone cracking up in laughter before they finished it! 

Nicki must just get over it! *blank stare*
