TikTok sensation Bhuti Omdala, whose real name is Nhlanhla Koebu, has joined eTV's popular telenovela "Isitha - The Enemy". Omdala portrays the character Kinati, a role that promises to bring a whirlwind of drama and unexpected twists to Thenjiwe's (Nonkululeko Pearl Mbatha) already tumultuous life. Known for his vibrant personality and a substantial online following, Omdala's foray into the dramatic world of "Isitha - The Enemy" marks a significant milestone in his acting career. Taking to Instagram, the 36-year-old, who poses as a 9-year-old boy on the show, wrote: "Had an opportunity to be on Isitha, God really pulled up for me. I hope my two angels, mom and dad, are proud for me. Thank you to the @etv_isitha_the_enemy and @blackbrain_sa for giving me the opportunity, wish to work with more❤️😭." Video Player is loading.

"With a dual personality, one as a shrewd hustler who loves smoking and drinking and the other as a naïve, respectful child, Kinati thrives on deception." "He targets unsuspecting victims like Thenjiwe and the Sokhulu family, charming them out of their belongings. His motto, 'If you've got it, use it to make money', captures his amusing yet relentless pursuit of financial gain." Meanwhile, Omdala shared: "Joining 'Isitha: The Enemy' is a huge milestone for me. Acting has always been a dream, and stepping into Kinati's shoes is both thrilling and challenging. Kinati is unpredictable; he's charming one moment and dangerous the next. I can promise viewers that he's bringing nothing but fire, drama and chaos into Thenjiwe's life." As the plot unfolds, viewers will witness evolving relationships and escalating tensions. In the latest episode, Nomsa triumphs in clearing Nolitha's name, yet chooses not to forgive her, believing Nolitha belongs with Chuma, especially given Chuma's involvement in Jobe's demise. Meanwhile, a thread of compassion weaves through Thenjiwe as she forms a bond with the seemingly innocent Kinati, inviting him to lunch. In contrast, Martha makes a fierce return with a striking new look, mingling with the drama as Rebs seeks to untangle the complicated secrets surrounding Kamavovo and Langa. Tensions heighten when Velaphi refuses to attend Martha's party at Rebs' home, embroiled in the conflict surrounding Nolitha. Amid these swirling dynamics, a passionate moment shared between Solomzi and Nandi further complicates the already intricate web of relationships in the show.

Cape Town vs Durban: American couple asks TikTok where they should live
An American couple who moved to Cape Town two years ago, are now keen to move to Durban. Image: Screenshot / TikTok An American couple who sold everything they owned back home have made South Africa their new home. The couple, along with their two children, have been living in Cape Town for almost two years. While they were confident about their decision to settle in the Mother City, a recent visit to Durban has left them torn between the two coastal cities. After spending time in Durban, enjoying the great weather, meeting new people, and falling in love with the cuisine, they are now seriously considering making it their new home. Husband Kenzo took to his TikTok account to ask South Africans whether they should make the move. 'Did I make a mistake moving to Cape Town over Durban?' he asks his followers. As he describes what he enjoys about Durban, his wife, Kourtney, is heard chiming in the background, insisting that almost everything is better there. She goes on to ask what the real difference between the two cities is, adding that they would have no problem packing up their home, kids, and dogs to make another move. 'We've done it before,' she says. Video Player is loading.

'Cape is the best city by beauty but if you wanna see great people and have some of the best times in your lives come to Durban you won't regret it truth be told,' said one viewer. Another follower, who feels strongly about living in Durban, said: 'Durban is warm all year round. Biggest Indian population outside of India. Mostly English and Zulu speaking. Schools are amazing, affordable and the sports culture is huge for both children and adults. Something to think about for sure.' Others prefer Durban over Cape Town simply because it's cheaper to live there. One viewer put it plainly: 'Durban is cheaper than Cape Town. That is the major difference,' while another commented: 'Capetown is very expensive we only go there for vacation.' Even some who live in Cape Town suggested that the couple move to Durban. 'Absolutely! I've been living in Cape Town for about 9 years, culturally it takes a while, people are cliquey, it's safer but you not going to have the same warmness and welcome like Durban. Oh and you get the racists,' said one TikToker. Another added: 'I am a Capetonian living in Durban. I love Cape Town, but I found my success in Durban. I also feel it's a better place to raise children. Cape Town is a holiday destination.' IOL Lifestyle
