MEET THE WIVES: MZANSI MAGIC TELENOVELA Soapie fans are impressed with the wives on My Brother's Keeper played by actresses Hlengiwe Lushaba, Zola Nombona, Vuyiseka Cawe, Nelisa Mchunu and Rosemary Zimu.
TVSA reports that Lushaba's character MaMchunu (who is the senior wife) married her husband Mshengu (played by Lindani Nkosi) who used to be her late sister's husband.
--
Her sister was married to Mshengu and passed away, so MaMchunu married him through Ukungena (it's a traditional custom whereby a widowed man automatically enters a union with his sister-in-law), reports the publication.
Nombona plays Khwezi's (Mnqobi Kunene) widow Fakazile Shabalala, alongside Vuyiseka Cawe who portrays Wiseman Mncube's on-screen wife, Nomusa Shabalala.
Isifiso and Uzalo star Nelisa Mnchunu's character Lerato Shabalala is married to Sdumo Mtshali's character, Donga Tshabalala.
Savage Beauty and Scandal! star Rosemary Zimu portrays the role of Puseletso Tshabalala, who is married to Nkanyiso Mchunu's character, Ndumiso Tshabalala.
--
The show focuses on Ukungena and centres round Nqubeko Shabalala (played by Wiseman Mncube) who isn't in love with his situation.
Viewers predict that Ngubeko will end up marrying his late brother (Khwezi's wife) Fakazile Shabalala (played by Zola Nombona).
