Plot

The series is about a man who seemingly has it all: money, love, family, power, glory and respect.

The telenovela is set in the Friendly city and revolves around the polygamous marriage of Luzuko Mxenge (Mbulelo Grootboom), a successful businessman who is husband to three very different wives. They are: Bulelwa Mxenge (Zikhona Sodlaka), Zimkhitha Mxenge (Zandile Msutwana), and Nozuko Mxenge (Kay Bikitsha). He has sons, but his favourite is Thulani (Thembinkosi Ngcukana). What more could he want? Another wife. We meet Anathi Njoloza (Akhenime Mfenyana) Luzuko's fourth wife who is Thulani's love interest. The plot in Season 2 twistes with Mbulelo Grootboon & Zikhona Sodlaka
