Stormy winter ahead: Suidooster's six explosive twists you can't miss

News2402-06-2025
As the Cape winter rolls in with full force, it's not just the weather that's heating up - emotional tempests are brewing in Suidooster's fictional suburb of Ruiterbosch this June, and viewers can expect one explosive storyline after the next.
Here are six dramatic arcs guaranteed to grip fans:
1. Matters of the heart
Siya (Gantane Kusch) is still nursing a broken heart after Bianca (Simone Biscombe) made it clear her love lies with Riaan (Daniel Coetzee). But was her decision made with her head or her heart? Torn between the two men, Bianca realises she can no longer string anyone along and finally decides who truly owns her heart.

2. Haunted by the past:
Gary (Craig Adriaanse) and Aiden's (Theodore Jantjies) Namibian adventure takes a spooky turn when the ghost of 'Oom Hans,' from whom they inherited a farm, seems to return. But it's not just a haunting — there's a literal skeleton in the closet that leaves the Booysen brothers rattled to the core.

3. Schemes and scandals at JPD
Does JPD stand for 'juggling, plotting and drama'? Tensions flare as Zoë (Lauren Joseph) and Bridgette (Denise Newman) scheme to outwit Nazeem (Irvine van der Merwe) over the company's shares. Their plotting drives a wedge between Bridgette and Lee-Ann (Portia Joel), while Wade (Dean Smith) is disgusted when he learns of Zoë's involvement. For him, it's déjà vu — echoing the chaos of the Tim (Marco Spaumer) era.
4. Sibling sins come to light
Bridgette and Nazeem's past sins finally catch up with them. To face the fallout, the warring siblings must consider burying the hatchet — but can they ever truly make peace?

5. Love at first sight – or flop?
A new face arrives in Ruiterbosch, someone with family ties to the community — and he's immediately smitten with Angie (Char Carrie). The problem? He has no clue how to win her over. Luckily, Justin (Eden Classens) and Gary (Craig Adriaanse) are seasoned Casanovas, more than willing to share their questionable love advice.
6. Samsodien storms ahead

Malusi Gigaba finally addresses Norma's claims on Untied -‘It's emotional abuse'

When his ex-wife, Norma Mngoma, aired the details of what led to their divorce on an episode of Untied with Relebogile Mabotja, social media went into a frenzy. Norma sat down to air her marriage troubles in a highly anticipated interview on Untied on Showmax, which aired after a failed court attempt by South African politician Malusi Gigaba to block its release. She alleged that while being married to Malusi, she endured years of infidelity and emotional abuse. She also alleged that Malusi had a pornography addiction and often misused government devices, she also likened him to P Diddy, claiming that he always packed baby oil when he travelled.

'The fact that somebody has made allegations does not make those allegations true,' he said. He stated that he refuses to address the allegations because he is protecting his family. 'Members of the public may be interested in the fist fight, but the dignity of your children has to matter most, and to me it matters most; that's why I'm not responding to this.' 'It's emotional abuse, mental abuse, but you've got to mature enough as an adult, as a father. It's unfortunate when such types of allegations are made.' Malusi is the former Minister of Home Affairs and a former member of parliament under the African National Congress (ANC), and he is no stranger to controversy outside of his government roles and personal life. At the peak of his career, the South African politician was married to Norma Mngoma and was once seen as a 'power couple'. News of their divorce came after multiple cheating scandals and an alleged sex tape that was circulating on social media. Their marriage struggles became public, so much so that after their split, Norma testified at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture with claims of him being deeply involved with the Gupta family.

From Gqeberha to Netflix: Meet SA star Luyanda Lewis-Nyawo breaking out on Wednesday S2

South Africa has another reason to beam with pride on the international entertainment stage. Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, born and raised in Gqeberha, is currently starring in one of Netflix's biggest shows as the formidable Sheriff Ritchie Santiago in Wednesday Season 2. After studying at Johannesburg's prestigious National School of the Arts — the same institution that nurtured Charlize Theron — they took a detour through film and advertising studies, searching for direction but finding few satisfying answers. The turning point came through community theatre sessions with veteran South African director Dorothy Ann Gould in Westdene. Lewis-Nyawo was later accepted at London's Royal Central School of Speech and Drama for three years. From there, Lewis-Nyawo built their career through British television staples like Top Boy and Doctor Who, plus streaming features including the star-studded Back in Action. Each role was a stepping stone toward their Wednesday breakthrough. Speaking to The Medium about stepping into the shoes of Sheriff Santiago, Lewis-Nyawo reveals the parallels and differences between themselves and their character: 'Santiago is really capable and quick on her feet. In that way, we're similar. We both go after something and commit to it fully, seeing it through to the end.' However, they acknowledge a key difference: 'Santiago has to navigate a male-dominated world and present herself from a position of strength. She doesn't always have the privilege of softness, which is a shame. I, on the other hand, seek that softness out as often as I can.' Jonathan Hession/Netflix The most meaningful review came from home. Speaking to Pink News, Lewis-Nyawo beamed about their mother's reaction: 'My mum is very proud. Her exact words this morning were, 'How was it received by the public? I, for one, was impressed and entertained.' The actor joins Emmy-nominated star Jenna Ortega, who previously told News24 about the pressure of maintaining Wednesday's legacy: 'I don't think anything will be as stressful as the first season, just because I so desperately wanted her to resonate with people.'
