Almost two decades (17 years) have passed since the premiere of the SABC 1 drama “Home Affairs,” which aired from 2005 to 2007. Have you ever wondered how the cast members currently appear?
Written by Catherine Stewart, Minky Schlesinger, and Natalie Harrhoff, Home Affairs is a South African television drama series. Roberta Durrant later conceived and produced it for the small screen.
The TV show was centered on the lives of women from many areas of life in the new South Africa and how their tales are all connected, whether by friendship, blood ties, or simply having a mutual friend.
These women all endure great suffering, from Katlego (Brenda Ngxoli), who thought her mother’s sister Nonhlanhla (Nomsa Xaba) was her mother as a child before learning that her real mother is Thandeka (Nthati Moshesh), a millionaire who was once a freedom fighter, to Vuyo Ngxaki (Brenda Ngxoli), who goes from living in a two-room shack to
My favorite of these tales is that of Vuyokazi Ngxaki, a young woman who must use the money she earns from working at Tat’ Ngcobo’s spaza to support her alcoholic mother Miriam and her younger sister Bulie, who is pursuing her matriculation. Vuyo discovers her passion for discus, and thanks to Thandeka’s “Young Blood” campaign, she receives a scholarship to study sports science and compete professionally in the sport at WITS University
The decision by Cherice to leave her violent partner and return home to mend fences with her father and raise her child is my second favorite.
