Last night's episode holds a very special place in my heart. Those who know how delicate and sacred the initiation process from boyhood to manhood is, know how it affected my family once upon a time. I dedicate yesterday's episode to my parents and siblings. Thank you so much for watching the first episode of Gqeberha: The Empire.
Daily Sun reports that the episode was about Anathi's brother coming from initiation and illustrated the ups and downs of the Xhosa initiation process and how challenging the process can be for families.
