Last week was an emotional week for a few of the characters on Isidingo when Dr Beth told Calvin that the ICU needed Frank’s bed in the hospital. He either had to switch off the ventilating machine or move him upstairs to a care facility – as Frank was brain dead. Calvin was at first
Last week on Isidingo Pastor Gabriel told Sizwe he would get Zukiswa’s expensive necklace back from Mme Zamdela. Sizwe had unsuccessfully tried to get the necklace back himself. Pastor Gabriel promised Sizwe that he would get the necklace back. So he tried persuasion and some charm, but the lady wasn’t about to budge so easily.
In the last few months there have been single days when Isidingo has been so good that I could hardly tear my eyes away from the screen.

Last week Frank got shot and the new pastor arrived in Horizon Deep. The episode where Frank got shot felt like a full movie – very suspenseful – even when I knew what was going to happen. It started when Frank played Lincoln Sibeko’s deposition on the air at the demand of the rebels who
Last week on the real life news we saw the father of a South African man held hostage. The man tried to look calm and coherent on tv when he was interviewed about his son, and yet you could see the desperation and sadness beneath it all. Most of the time that’s how we see
Nina Zamdela met Lerato for the first time. Lerato was surprised to see Nina who arrived for a treatment at the salon. She also ordered some expensive beauty products.
