Nonka portrays a young woman from the poor and humble Xulu family of KwaMashu. Her role motivates and uplifts young girls in South Africa to testify that your background does not determine the future. Despite all the hardships she encountered, poverty, early marriage and divorce, Nonka went back to school and excelled in her studies; she became the first Xulu to graduate in the family.Nyawo, on the other hand, plays a crooked police officer who is on a criminal’s payroll; despite his superiors knowing how corrupt he is, they are yet to find evidence to nail him. Nyawo recently won the prize money on KwaMashu Talent Show and was invited to the South Africa National Spelling Bee competition.

In real life, the two Mthembu’s Thuthuka (Nonka) and Cebo (Nyawo) are related. Cebo is Thuthuka’s uncle, a cousin brother to her father. Though Nonka grew up with a single mother and an absent father, she still highly respects her paternal relatives.
