Story 1: Dudu Sibiya wants a grandmother for her children
Tonight's episode of KK opens with Dudu Sibiya’s story, who lives with her children and their father, and has not seen her mother in 25 years.
Question from her children about their grandmother is what has brought Dudu to the point of seeking help from KK. She tells us that she was raised by her paternal grandmother after her mother had left her. However, her mother did return when she was 10 and tried to foster a relationship with her. However, the relationship did not work out, as Dudu felt that her mother was too hard on her, shouting at her all the time, and showing a dislike of her when her husband was around. It got so bad for Dudu that she decided to go back to her grandmother, who advised her never to return to her mother.
After her grandmother died, Dudu lived with neighbours, and eventually move to Johannesburg in search of work, where she met Harry, with whom she now has a family.
With Harry’s blessings, and a handshake from him, Dudu and the KK team head to Greytown in KZN to find her mother. (At this point my mother calls me…lol, the irony!)
Dudu SIbiya
In Greytown, they find an old woman outside with two younger ladies. When Dudu tells them who she is looking for, she realises that her mother is the old woman infront of her.
What follows is nothing short of a tongue lashing! Dudu gives her mother a piece of her mind, demonstrating the anger she harbours inside. After the heated argument, they get to talking in a sober manner. Dudu, calling a spade a spade, ask her if she did not love her, and reminds her of the pain of her growing up. Her mother explains that she once hit her because she found out about an “affair” she was having in the area, the same area where her aunt was having an affair too. Dudu denies this, saying there was no way she could have been having an affair at 10. After a lot of this and that, Dudu’s mother apologizes, and says she welcomes her back, even though she thought she was dead. The other two ladies turn out to be Dudu’s sisters, who are also welcoming of her return.
In the next scene, from nowhere, the family is suddenly dancing what looks like a traditional dance, signalling, I suppose, their happiness for their reunion.
Ncoyiwe Kheswa wants to find the only family she has left.Next, KK goes back to an old story, one where Ncoyiwe Kheswa was looking for her brother’s child, Nonkululeko, who has a tendency of running away. She has already been fetched 3 times to come back home, but this time, she mastered the art of both running and hiding, as her aunt could not find her, and thus enlisted the help of KK.
Nonkululeko’s father has since passed away, and she is left only with her aunt, who she has ran away from.
After talking to pass time, they go to Tembisa, where a man called Dennis (whom I was fearing was the boyfried), enters the car and tells Ncoyiwe that he is Nonkuleko’s neighbour. Nonkululeko shares a house with a number of boys and girls, all coming and going as they please, with not adult supervision. ( I know of a house like this in Katlehong).
He tells her that Nonkululeko is there right now, and so they make their way to the house.
They find Nonkululeko outside, washing her face by the tap(or atleast that’s how it seemed to me). Her aunt tells Nonku that she is here to fetch her, empasizing the error of her ways. Nonku is quiete, and when her aunt tells to fetch her clothes, she quietly obliges.
While Nonkuleko fetches her clothes, on of the housemates explains how Nonku came to live with them. She says she met Nonku with 3 other girls,who were also renegades with no stable home. Nonku confided in this new friend that she needs a place to stay, as her friends live stray lives. The kind friend decided to speak to her brother, and the rest is history. She says that they offered to give Nonku money to go back home, but Nonku was too scared to go back home alone.
When Nonku exits the house, a lot of people who I assume to be residents as well, flock out of the house. However, it’s even worse when the people of Monchooza’s kasi spot the camera’s and gather around the car, and Nonku’s aunt, in true diva style wave at them as they depart for home.
At home, she asks Nonku why she left, to which she answers that there was no reason.(AAAAHHHHH, how insensitive!!!)
She says she is greatful to be back, and during a long speech, aunt mentions that they will be leaving to go live in KZN( I have a feeling this will just make Nonku want to run away again)
