Secondary Characters
Andile
Played by Omuhle Gela
Mnqobi and Cebisile's eldest daughter, Andile, is a recent matriculant interning at her father's company. She has applied to study a B.Com at Wits. Andile's beliefs are very different from her mother.
Having already had to accept Dumile as her father's second wife, she becomes resentful towards her mom for being submissive and allowing yet another woman to take what is rightfully hers. Mnqobi has never made a secret about the fact that he yearns for a son, which makes Andile insecure about her relationship with her dad.
TK
Played by Thato Molamu
TK, Mnqobi's business associate, is the son of a deceased wealthy township entrepreneur. He went to private schools and has connections to a number of South Africa's political and business elite. Charming and personable, he has a string of casual girlfriends, and he thoroughly enjoys his reputation as a player.
Spikiri
Played by Daniel Hadebe
After witnessing an injustice as a child, Spikiri vowed to be a cop and he became one. For years, he has cut himself off from others, immersing himself in his work. Spikiri finds himself at a crossroads in his career and he is also longing for more in his personal life.
Fiercely loyal, smart, and very good at his job, Spikiri makes for a powerful ally, and a dangerous foe. He will do anything to protect his ideals and will stop at nothing to take down those who he judges to be wrong.
