Mantoa writes Seipati a letter telling her that she is very important in her life. She also apologises for not telling her the truth about Mandla. She eventually admits that he is not to be trusted and that Mandla is not truthful. Later, Robert is in his self-actualisation era, but that is short-lived as he finds himself on the ground with a bullet to the chest.

After telling Puleng that he will not go through with the plan of proposing to Seipati, Mandla gets surprised by Seipati. He arrives home to find a romantic setting where Seipati declares her undying love to him. She then takes it upon herself and proposes to him but he turns her down. He then takes the ring and proposes to her making Seipati the happiest woman in the world.

Mpumi bids her family farewell as she heads to New York. NJ is not convinced by Puleng's story that Papi has left. He is on a quest to find his father. Mandla arrives shortly after, and Puleng tells him he needs to marry Seipati to ensure they can get what belongs to them since Papi's death has thrown a spanner in the works.

uleng almost got away with fooling Papi about her affair with Mandla. He puts two and two together, and she cannot escape this predicament when he finds a watch that belongs to Mnadla on the side table. Papi then calls Mandla, who comes out of hiding and doesn't seem remorseful. Papi is very angry but still seeks an explanation that Puleng cannot give.

Mantoa tells Mandla that the secret that she is carrying is very heavy and since it is heavy, she wants payment for having to carry such a heavy burden. He later tries to reason with her to agree to keep his secret, but she is not interested in anything he offers. He even goes as far as offering her a job, but she tells him that she is a lady of leisure and will not be working. She will, however, have her money, and she will get it from Mandla.

Papi is very suspicious of Puleng and is convinced that she is cheating on him with Mandla. He asks her point blank, and she instantly denies it. At first, he is not convinced, but in classic Puleng fashion, she convinces him that it is all in his head. She even goes as far as threatening that should he ever bring this topic up again, she will leave him. He then apologises and reminds her that he loves her. It is at this point that she starts to feel guilty.

Robert decides to not go through with the demand from Mdu. As he does that, Mdu attempts to get rid of Alakhe, but the police intersect in time and arrest him. Detective Khalipha calls Sarah telling her to tell Robert to abort the mission as they have found Mdu and Alake, and Alakhe is safe. They are too late as just as he is about to answer the call, Donald arrives to help his father finish the mission to save his son.

Mdu not only wants Robert to unalive himself, but he now wants him to confess to the world all of his sins. All the tenders and unexplained deaths that he was part of. Should he not follow Mdu's orders, his family will pay for his sins, one by one. This leaves Robert with no choice but to confess in front of the whole world.

Mantoa catches Mandla trying to sneak Puleng out of the house since they have been continuing with their affair. He tries to reason with her to keep his secret, but she is disappointed in him for playing with Seipati's heart. The reasons he gives her are thin, but she makes him promise to never cheat on Seipati again and then says she will not tell Seipati about the affair.

Robert receives Mdu's terms for releasing Alakhe back to them, but he is after much more than Robert is willing to give. Mdu's instructions are for Robert to unalive himself on national television then Alakhe will be returned to them. Donald thinks that he should do it as he is the cause of so much destruction. Sarah is beside herself and asks if there is another viable option to get Alakhe back.

Sarah continues to tell Robert how bad a father he is for arresting Donald. She is upset that he may be using the whole situation for his own political gain, to one day become the president. Robert later gets a call from his old enemy, Mdu, who should be behind bars but is now dangling Alakhe as bait to get to Robert. He responds with anger and disdain as he realises that Donald was right all along.

As Donald prepares to leave the country, he gets an unexpected visitor in his hotel room. The visitor is none other than Ace who is an old Nondumo enemy. He proceeds to knock Donald out and calls him weak. Donald awakes to find Alakhe missing and has been taken and he is distraught.

Sarah is left to answer for Donald's actions. Robert calls the detective to get her to talk as he is convinced that she is harbouring his secrets. Sarah keeps reminding them that he is not a criminal. Robert wants him found and sends the police to find him but they return empty handed as he purposely left his phone in the hotel room.

Donald is in a bad state as he is on the run with Alakhe. He gets a message from his father, who tells him there is still time to fix this. Unfortunately, that message falls on deaf ears. Unbeknown to him, they are in grave danger as they seem to have a tail. Mpumi is distraught when she finds out that Alakhe and Donald are gone. She feels that Donald is doing all of this to make her pay. She fears the worst and is unconsolable, even as Puleng tries to tell her that Alakhe will return.

Donald tells Mpumi that he still loves her. He tells her that he has had a hard look within, and he feels that the reason for his coldness towards her was that he was hurting. He wants to fix things, and this leaves Mpumi confused. She mulls the news over with her family, who urges her to go to New York. She later decides that she wants to live her life and will move forward with moving to New York. This news comes as a surprise to Donald as he was sure that he had his family back together again.

There is no love lost between Sarah and Mpumi. Sarah tells Mpumi that she is selfish in taking Alakhe to New York with her. She even goes as far as trying to slap her. Mpumi tells Sarah that she is not afraid of her and that threatening her will not help as her decision is made. The Nondumo family try to find a way to keep Alakhe from leaving.

Mpumi tells Donald she is leaving for New York and taking Alakhe with her. He does not react favourably, but she tells him that her mind is made up and that he can visit if he wants to. Meanwhile, Puleng is back to her old tricks, trying to win Mandla back since her gravy train with Papi has dried up.

Still reeling from the aftermath of the failed launch of Danko, Papi informs Puleng that their problems continue. He tells her he does not have any money to pay the bills. Puleng tells him that, as a man, he needs to think of something because she is not going back to Brenda's house. He tells her that he has no plan.

Papi and Puleng's grand opening does not pan out to be what they had planned. Due to the robberies and the highjackings that Papi and Puleng did to get money to buy Danko, they are now left to deal with the aftermath of their actions as people are afraid of coming to Danko in fear of getting robbed. It is such a flop that it even trends, sending Papi and Puleng in opposite directions.

Mandla plans a special surprise for Seipati where he wines and dines her. He later tells her he loves her and has never felt like this for anyone. Seipati melts under Mandla's charms as it has been a long time since anyone has done anything nice for her. She tells him that it is a welcome distraction from life's problems.

Mpumi gets the test results back which confirm that Alakhe is not Mohau's son. She confronts him with the news, and Mantoa is so happy, but Mohau is visibly disappointed. She later tells NJ that she loves Donald and Alakhe and intends to fight for her family. That is until she gets served with divorce papers.

Seipati talks with Mantoa about the problems in Mantoa's marriage. She asks why she is being used as a pawn to keep Mohau. She is very upset as she feels that things that brought her a lot of pain are being used as weapons. Mantoa flips the script, denies everything and goes on to expose Mohau and Mpumi being in love. This gets Mandla's attention, who proceeds to beat Mohau for his actions with his daughter.

Sphiwe demands five hundred thousand from Nomafu or he tells Thumbeza everything.

Dambisa is on a mission to make sure that she leaves Lindiwe's house with everything that Zweli owned. Seeing that her efforts to take furniture and get some money off of it failed, she is now showing Lindiwe's cars and plans to sell but Andile and Flora are making sure that doesn't happen.

The day Nomafu fell into temptation after meeting Siphiwe at a bar was the start of all things messy. Now that he has wormed his way into her house and family, he left her no choice but to give in to his demands one of which was a brand new car.

The peace has been disrupted in the Dikana household but it's about to get worse now that Zweli's sisters have decided to show up. While Andile took it upon himself to tell Dambisa that Zweli is infact to blame for all the mess, she still insists on sticking to Lindiwe being the one that stepped out and cheated which ended their marriage.

Thuso has been bitten by the events bug, a life that he used to live and wasn’t aware that he missed and loved until Percy came back into his life. He has now decided to join him and go to another province to host events instead of being in an office anymore.

Thumbeza is out of town and things go south almost immediately. While Nomafu is out, she bumps into Vero and it becomes a good time as they share drinks but next thing they know, there's young man eyeing her and it doesn't take long for him to work his charm and takes her to a hotel room.

Lindiwe moving on has Andile all up in his feelings, to the point of hiring people to kill Bangizwe. Things quickly take a turn for the worst when Bangizwe wakes up in the middle of the mission and catches the guy out.

Andile is not here for his mother new romance. He is really struggling to accept Bangizwe and Lindiwe's relationship so shortly after the divorce and asks her to do all of this outside their house, but of course Lindiwe isn't taking it lightly.

Lindiwe has been noticeably happy and lighter recently, leaving everyone wondering what changed or who is responsible for it. After opening up to Vero and then to Andile, it's decided that they invite him over but the man being Bangizwe shocks them and Andile is not here for it.

Thuso is still not happy about Rakgadi npt helping Dimpho get a job at the mine like he planned even though Rakgadi is there because of him. When she still refuses to do what he wants, he concludes that it’s better if she moves out.

The miners have found a diamond at Khanyisa Diamonds and gave it to Bukhosi instead of Lindiwe which resulted in them getting killed so that she can remain in the dark. She later drops by unannounced at the Hlophes and sees a strange man with them, who happens to be the one who'll help them sell it.

Thuso is determined to make sure that Dimpho gets a job at Khanyisa Diamonds now that she's graduated but Rakgadi is hell-bent on doing the right thing instead of giving her because she's family. The potential employee ends up having to give up the job because of being threatened by Thuso and Charlie.

After their plan to rile up the miners, even going as far as hijacking Lindiwe and kidnapping both Andile and Nkanyiso, the Hlophes are now concerned that the miners are taking it way too far and they continue to negotiate a reasonable increase. It remains to be seen if they will agree with the offer.

The Hlophes don't have timing one thing about them but it seems to be working in their favour so far. They have managed to keep going with their plans to take Khanyisa Diamonds away from Lindiwe and making Andile their puppet is paying off because now, the miners are on a strike and demanding more money.

Zweli meant it when he said he is done with Lindiwe and even though she has been finding it hard, she comes to a decision to grant him the divorce. On the other hand in a effort to comfort her, Bangizwe takes her out and ends up confessing how he feels about her but she’s not here for it.

Dimpho was triggered by graduation and results fast approaching and owing the school didn’t help matters either but that quickly changed. After finding out she passed, Thuso plans to go all out for her celebration bit Angelina is not too pleased about all the money that requires.

Nomafu has had a bright idea in her eyes of trying to dethrone Lindiwe while she’s vulnerable and even though not everyone is for it, they are willing to work together. Bukhosi then takes it further and makes himself comfortable in Lindiwe’s office where Andile catches him and senses something weird.

Paulina and Angelina had babies at the same time and it was downhill from there. After confronting Angelina and that being what cuts her life short, we have some of Paulina’s best moments from five seasons that we’ll remember her by.

It’s been a terrible time in the Dikana household since Mabutho did the unthinkable when Lindiwe, Tshabalala and Zolani were hunting him down. Now, here’s a look at some of the amazing moments that he gave us for five seasons.

It's been a very painful time at the Dikanas, Vero makes a shocking and very sad entrance to bury Zolani and everyone gathers to come and say their last goodbyes, including the Hlophes and Emma.

The day that Lindiwe has been waiting for finally arrives and she gets to come face to face with Mabutho but it quickly goes left. While Tshabalala made sure that she's all alone and finishes him off, they had no idea that Zweli and his people were on their way to stop her from killing Mabutho.

They have been together through all the ups and downs, from Refilwe to the suburbs and still made sure that they fight to stay and have each other's backs no matter what. It has now all come to an end when Zolani literally stood in front of the bullet for Lindiwe and left her whole world changed forever.
