Empini ends: the story of a woman who chose a career over her family and the impact on her 20 years later.
Inimbi centres round Zoleka Mabandla who had it all - a new family, a promising career and the offer of a dream job that she found hard to refuse.
But when her husband, Hlathi, forced her to choose between her ambition and their family, she made the ultimate sacrifice.
Fast forward two decades and Zoleka is now a tech mogul. She’s here to reclaim her life and Qhawe, the daughter she lost, but she soon learns that the past doesn’t let go that easily.
Battle lines are drawn - past vs present, love vs resentment - all because of broken promises. Will Zoleka mend the bond she was robbed of? Or are some wounds too deep to heal?
The series stars Lunathi Mampofu, Zenande Mfenyana, Sisa Hewana, Siyabonga Shibe, Ayakha Ntunja, Prince Grootboom, Nkanyiso Makhanya and Andrea Dondolo.
