Kaya 959 reports that actress Luyanda Zwane's character Sibongile Mbambo has a surprising Cinderella-like tale, and forbidden romance, when she joins The Dlaminis as their domestic worker.
The show is set in the small town of Ixopo in KwaZulu-Natal and promises to explore timeless themes of love, sacrifice, ambition, and familial bonds.
