The South African reality show Isencane Lengane has become a hit with viewers. Thando and Siyacela’s marriage and its ups and downs are the focus of the show. Some viewers have found the show enjoyable, but others have been saddened by the portrayal of Thando and Siyacela’s unhappy marriage. Many viewers wish for Thando to prioritize herself and make her own decisions for once so that she can achieve the better life she deserves.

Throughout the series, viewers have seen Thando’s husband treat her poorly, be unfaithful to her, and otherwise mistreat her. Viewers have shown great compassion for Thando, with many urging her to end her marriage and go on with her life. Despite all of the difficulties in her marriage, Thando has decided to stick it out with her spouse. In the most recent episode, Thando visited her parents to talk about some family business. Thando made the stunning confession that Siyacela did not learn IsiZulu and attended a school with students of many different races. Many viewers were shocked by this development, since it cast doubt on Siyacela’s claimed history and his capacity to converse with Thando.

Which is shocking because Thando and Siyacela have always spoken IsiZulu with each other throughout the series. It came as a surprise to viewers that Siyacela could speak English, even though it didn’t appear that way for very long. Thando has shown time and time again that she will protect her husband and stand by him no matter what.
