Nyala O... is a South African telenovela that follows three women in three marriages as they discover that the wedding was the easy part.
Together they navigate issues of love, finances, forgiveness and identity, while confronting an uncomfortable truth about marriage.
The series peels back the multiple layers of a marriage and exposes the beauty, sacrifices, secrets and the difficult choices that come with it.
At the centre of the story are three women whose lives become intertwined as their marriages face unexpected challenges.
Kea Maponya (played by Mapaseka Koetle) is a confident career woman on top of her game who believes that she has mastered the formula to a successful marriage.
When she discovers the ultimate deception by her husband of 15 years, Rhami Maponya (Motlatsi Mafatshe), a secret that could see her picture-perfect family life destroyed, her world comes crashing down.
Worse still, she learns that some of the people closest to her have been privy to this secret all along.
Her older sister, Mapula (Tsholofelo Matshaba), is approaching a new chapter in her marriage as she faces the prospect of an empty nest.
As she navigates the emotional challenges she now faces, she begins a journey of rediscovering herself and her marriage to Ernest (Aubrey Mmakola).
Meanwhile, Kea's lifelong friend Lerato (Cindy Mahlangu), who is ambitious with a 'princess treatment syndrome', finds herself dealing with pride, resentment and the growing strain of a changing dynamic within her marriage to her husband Mondli (Unathi Mkhize).
Together, the three women navigate issues of love, finances forgiveness and identity, while confronting an uncomfortable truth about marriage.
And each has to answer the crucial question: "Why did I get married, and is that reason still enough to keep me in this marriage?"
The cast also includes Amanda Seome as Pretty, Elizabeth Serunye as Gertrude "Bomma", Slindile Nodangala as Gabisile, Kgomotso Moshia as Tshepi and Sluleko Zungu as Lethabo.
In the Season 2 premiere: When Kea discovers her husband has a secret second family, the life she built collapses.
She is then forced into a ruthless fight to protect the image of her perfect marriage and identity.
