They become outcasts and are mistreated by their in-laws after the death of their spouses.

The show exposes the devastation of widows who struggle to get along with their unsympathetic in-laws. The ups and downs range from them not being liked by their departed partners’ families that often leave them financially and emotionally devastated and face many difficulties as they gather the courage to emerge better and move on with their lives.

The show aims to demonstration the damage of loss and conflict that ensues, the mending of broken hearts and broken families while helping the widow find closure and move on with her life.

“The true life accounts of the 13 widows represents the lived experiences of some South Africans and this is why this interventional reality show resonates with our viewers,” concludes Philiso.
