Morena stole from the residents of Refilwe and almost lost his life when he was stabbed by a gang in Refilwe who wanted revenge. Though his relationship with Cobra was rough, the two have now made-up this season and they have the perfect relationship.
Fans were thrilled to see Angelina returning this season as she’s a fan-favourite and hilarious and were even happier to see Morena returning. The two characters are brilliant together as they have similar personalities and have similar interests. Current storyline:
Morena busted Angelina seeling Nyaope and threatened to expose Angelina if she didn’t make him a 50% partner in her business. Morena is a boy with a plan and he’s money-hungry just like his step-mother, Angelina.
However the two are not good for each other and not good together because they’re both troublemakers and money-hungry!
Here are some reactions from fans regarding the troublemakers:
“Angelina is selling nyaope…Morena went from being Nyaope addict, to being a dealer.”However, not everyone is pleased with the show though as fans are noticing a pattern in the storyline. Fans have also asked about Angelina’s second son with Cobra who has not been mentioned since her return.
“If the #TheRiver1Magic doesn’t watch out for this common narrative they have of always spinning good news, they’ll lose interest of so many viewers. “
”No one in Refilwe succeeds. Now is Rakgadi, it was just beauty, before that it was Khabzela in his new taxi, etc. “
“It’s annoying.”
“Morena winning the competition, Rakgadi finding love le abuti Ntsizwa the list goes on and on. I stopped watching once and I think I am done for good this time, its a total waste of 30 mins.”
“The writers really hate township people because there’s really no other explanation.”
