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

Soweto TV's Tidi Sehlako on shaping communities through music
Broadcasting from the heart of South Africa's largest township, Soweto Community Television (Soweto TV) has become a cultural cornerstone for local entertainment and representation. At the forefront stands Tidimalo Sehlako, the host of Just Music, whose platform seeks to elevate South African artists to compete confidently on the international stage. Tidi is crafting a space where local talent shines alongside global music, creating new pathways for homegrown artists. In an interview with TRUELOVE, she invites viewers behind the curtain of her remarkable career, offering an opportunity to get insight into her journey, creative process and vision for the future of South African broadcasting. The impact of Soweto TV The platform brims with local talent. In as much as it is showing young people what is out there and encouraging them to dream bigger, it is also showing the narrative that 'you start small, you start wherever you are with whatever you have and you will definitely make it'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tidi Sehlako (@tidimalo_s) Through reaching communities that are on the outlying areas, they are also aiming for quality broadcasting. 'We're reaching more people, especially those who cannot afford all these streaming platforms, people whose affordability isn't in the middle class,' she says. Long-form impact in a short-form world Social media content continues to grow rapidly, with platforms like TikTok shaping how people consume content. As a result, attention spans and audiences have changed, engaging videos that deliver value in seconds. 'If you look at the time frame that it's on, it's catered for a specific demographic. You get young children coming from school. They knock off, come home and the first thing they want to do is get the lowdown on what's fresh in terms of music - what we're listening to, what's going to be trendy on TikTok.

They're listening to the music, the content and all the information we're giving them about music, helping them stay afloat in that area.'
