Of all Sengwayo's wives, no one could ever have guessed that Phumelele would be the one to have a history with Advocate Molefenyane. Phumelele is doting, devoted, nurturing and loyal wife, but it seems before she met Sengwayo, there was another man in her life. Could this old flame turn into something that could affect her marriage? Is Maria nothing like Phumelele?
Here is what we know so far about their past love:
1. He only listens to Maria
Sibongile, Siphokazi and even the persuasive Cebisile have tried to convince Advocate Molefenyane to take on Sengwayo’s case, but he only does what Phumelele wants. She has that Maria magic over him.
2. They met when she was just a teenager, and her name is Maria
Molefenyane was visiting Bhubesini when he met the beautiful Maria and he has never forgotten her since. Call her the one that got away or she maybe she made an impression on him, but Molefenyane seems just as taken by Maria as he was when they were children.

3. Molefenyane is a big dreamer, and so is Maria
While Phumelele is the more calm-hearted of the Zungu wives, she is also the biggest dreamer between them. When Sengwayo wanted to take MaMkhize as his third wife, Phumelele began to wonder if being a second wife is all her life would be. She told Thandeka how she wanted to travel the world and see what she had been missing out on as someone who had never left the country.
Her history with Advocate Molefenyane and the dreams they shared as youngsters are proof that there is more to Phumelele than meets the eye. They would sit by the river and share with each other everything they wanted to do with their lives – does Phumelele still want those things?
4. They kissed
We know Phumelele has never been with any man other than Sengwayo, but she has shared dreams, time and kisses with the advocate. She may be memorable to him, but it seems she hasn’t forgotten him either.
Will Phumelele risk it all to live the life she could have lived? We know Phumelele loves her children and everything she does is for them. She also loves her husband deeply and they have been through so much together. Where does that leave Advocate Molefenyane?
5. He has a daughter, but has no wife; could he be loking for love?
Fenyang maybe a big shot lawyer but the advocate is struggling in the love department. He seems to be a great father but things have soured between him and the mother of his child. Could this be why he is still so captivated by the Maria he met decades ago in eBhubesini? Is the advocate still on the search for true love?
