Coming up on
House of Zwide tonight (Tuesday 20 August):
Mduduzi Mabaso as Faith Zwide's long lost brother Msizi.
As you'll see from the above key art, he's looking a lot more suave than he did in
BET's ill-fated Queendom where he played desperate Prince Andile who had visions of grandeur, believing he should be king.
That's in the rearview mirror after Queendom's cash crisis and Mduduzi's returned home to e.tv. It may sound overly sentimental but it's true because he starred as Suffocate on Rhythm City for 14 years.
And now he's back as another troubled soul, this time a former prison bird.
Msizi's just been released from prison and he’s back in town to recover a hidden stash of money he buried years ago.
But Msizi’s reappearance isn’t just about reclaiming his fortune - it’s a catalyst for a series of dramatic events that will unearth long-buried family secrets and force him to reconnect with his sister Faith.
This reconnection will bring unresolved issues from their shared past to the forefront, leading to explosive revelations and intense emotional confrontations.
With a personality that’s as magnetic as it is multifaceted, Msizi is set to become a force to be reckoned with. His charm and complexity will challenge Faith on multiple levels, compelling her to face her deepest feelings and make difficult decisions that could fracture her relationships.
The tension between her loyalty to family and her current bonds will reach new heights as Msizi’s presence disrupts the delicate balance of her life.
In a pivotal twist, Msizi will play a key role in shaping the future of House of Zwide. As Funani steps down, Nkosi and Faith are determined to breathe new life into the fashion empire, and Msizi’s financial backing becomes crucial to their plans.
However, his involvement comes with strings attached - he’s not just investing in the business; he’s also in the process of laundering the money from his past heist.
As he navigates the complexities of his dual objectives, the lingering question remains - can Msizi keep his criminal past hidden while helping to steer House of Zwide towards a prosperous future?
