Komkhulu

An heirless chief faces a coup from an ambitious family member with no time to shake off his detractors.

Maliyezwe is over the moon, as he has a son who will succeed him in serving the throne one day.

The boys return from the mountain, and Karisa is tasked to be their servant, but the battle for the throne begins. Jama gets the upper hand, betrays Jamile, and is endorsed by Sayina.

Jama and Jamile are sent to the wilderness to hunt for a lion, but Karisa, the rightful Chief, is the one who ends up sealing the lion's fate.

New winds blow Jama's way, but the revelation of his true paternity threatens his attempt to be announced as Chief.

The news about Jama not being of royal blood shakes him, while Sayina does everything she can to keep the throne for herself.

Ntfombi and Karisa's love flourishes, and they can't stay away from each other, despite Jama's clear intentions to take Ntfombi as his wife.

Karisa and Jama draw a line in the sand over Ntfombi, ending in a tragedy.

Karisa faces the Mbonani ancestors, who send him back to fight for Komkhulu or face calamity.

Maliyezwe is livid when he learns that Karisa is Masoso's son, and he goes rogue in antagonism, leading to a hostage in Karisa's home, and shots are fired.
