It’s no secret that Dr Dhlomo (Nyaniso Dzeze) has been physically abusive towards the women in his life.

But the charismatic doctor, who has tried so hard to hide his dark side, is finally starting to crack as he continues to abuse his wife of a few months Sne (Nombulelo Mhlongo).

 

 
Dhlomo was raised in a home where the only method of communication was violence and aggression. His dad was abusive towards his mother.

Dhlomo learnt that in order to get a woman to do what he wants and to keep her in check, he needs to abuse her.

This storyline will be heartbreaking and devastating, and while it will be hard to watch, it was equally hard for Nyaniso to portray. The actor drew inspiration for his character from his personal experiences as his mother was also physically abused by his father.

FAÇADE OF HAPPINESS

In spite of her fear, Sne loves Dhlomo and would to anything to keep him happy, even if it means planning a dinner and pretending to be a loving couple in front of his family and friends.
