It’s become a regular occurrence that viewers of “Isencane Lengane” are upset with Siyacela’s behavior every Sunday, and the latest episode was no exception. Viewers are rooting for Thando and hope she can escape Siyacela’s wrath.
In the episode, Thando was already shocked by the violent behavior of her newborn’s father, Siyacela. She described to the show’s crew how Siyacela had assaulted her, explaining, “He slapped me while I was preparing food. Even when the baby is crying, he beat me up. If it was a man that called me, what would you have done? You would have killed me, I’d be dead.”Siyacela forcibly grabbed Thando’s two-day-old phone and smashed it on the floor when he discovered that her friend, Asanda, had returned her call. He suspected that Asanda might expose Thando to other men, which triggered his erratic behavior and violence.
Thando tearfully told Siyacela that she was ending their relationship, as she could not tolerate a man who beats her. She expressed her frustration, saying, “You threw the phone on my c-section scar. I was on the toilet floor.”
Siyacela admitted to beating her because she said she sent a child to give Asanda her number, and when he called Asanda, she had a different story. Feeling deceived and with a short temper, he resorted to violence.He also mentioned that Thando knew he didn’t want her to have any friends, whether male or female.
Viewers are concerned for Thando and want her to leave Siyacela to focus on her child and studies, away from his influence. Although Thando initially seemed resolute in her decision, her interaction with Siyacela the following day left viewers skeptical, as he appeared apologetic, and when she slapped him back, it seemed like she might have forgiven him.
