The friendship between Hleziphi (Sibongiseni Shezi) and Nonka (Thuthuka Mthembu) has been quite rocky, mostly thanks to Hleziphi’s conniving ways.
But when she discovers that her best friend’s boyfriend Kwanda (Sandile Mfusi) is up to no good and putting Nonka’s life in danger, Hleziphi tries to do the right thing for the first time. Alas, no one trusts or believes her and why would they? Such a shame when you’re trying to turn over a new leaf in the middle of a forest fire.
At the end of July, Hleziphi becomes convinced that Nonka and Kwanda are drug dealers.
This is because of their sudden change in lifestyle. Nonka goes from living in a one-bedroom house with three family members, to her boyfriend buying her a fancy car and them buying a house together. And they claim the money is from Nonka’s beauty products.
What happens is that Kwanda presents products to Nonka to distribute as a partnership in business. Hleziphi makes the discovery that Kwanda is using these products as front to sell drugs under the radar.
The consequences of Hleziphi having this knowledge could be, and eventually prove to be, dire.
CRY WOLF, GET BITTEN
Back in June, Nonka and Kwanda were shocked when Hleziphi revealed that she used muti, which turned them against each other and destroyed the business they were running together.
Hleziphi also turned her best friend’s life upside down in May when she consulted a sangoma to win her best friend’s man Kwanda’s heart.
Because of the muti, Hleziphi was able to seduce Kwanda to have sex with her – and she made sure to record every moment and whoops, oh no, oh dear, Nonka saw the recording. Hleziphi and Kwanda even started dating after Nonka watched their sextape, but their relationship didn’t survive her admitting the truth of what she’d done.
Given Hleziphi’s slippery history, it’s no surprise that Nonka’s older sister
Lilly (Noxolo Mathula) doesn’t believe Hleziphi when she tries to warn Lilly about what Nonka has gotten caught up in.
