There's tension brewing in the kingdom, which meant that episode 3 of Queen Modjadji was packed with drama. By the end of the episode we were on the edge of our seats, asking: What? Who? Why? Come again? Did you have questions too? We've got you sorted.
Who was the man who appeared to Dzugudini?
Feeling dishonoured for her sacrifices, Dzugudini turns to dark forces, sealing a pact in blood with Thibule (played by Collen Magongwa) the witch doctor who appoints himself as her spiritual advisor. Thibule warns Dzugudini that Mambo Mugodo has ruined her destiny, and that the incoming queen will steal her future. Thibule further manipulates Dzugudini into stealing the rain charms, claiming that without them, Maselekwane will never be able to make rain.
What did Dzugudini do with the shell necklaces?
She hid the necklaces inside an old tree trunk. She did this in the hope that Maselekwane will not be made rain queen without the shells Stay tuned for more on this development.
Why did King Mambo kill himself?
In a profoundly moving and ancient tradition, Mambo Mugodo performs a sacred practice that culminates in his ritual suicide, a sacrifice made by centuries of kings before him.
What does this mean for the Rain Queen and Dzugudini?
Mambo Mugodo had to perform the ritual suicide in order to allow Maselekwane to take her seat as the queen and take charge of the kingdom. For Dzugudini it means that her quest to get her mother's land has not been fulfilled and she will continue to fight to get her wishes.
