A family of thieves exposed

Before the vows could be exchanged, the Drug Enforcement Commission swooped in and arrested Isabel and the bride on charges including money laundering. Dumisani Jere never made it to his daughter's wedding as he was arrested before he could even dress for the ceremony.

"How does a junkie come to marry Vinny" were her words as she insisted that she was going to marry Vinny on the spot. Everyone was shocked to see her in her own wedding dress.
Luyando, a teenage father
As if the wedding crasher and arrests were not enough, young Luyando's youth flashed before his eyes when he found out that McKayla was pregnant. What a life-changing moment it was for McKayla to find the courage to ask a stranger to buy her a pregnancy test. Do you think Luyando will be able to handle the responsibility of being a teenage father? We will have to wait and see!
Trouble between the matriarchs
There was fire on the mountain! It took Senzeni's lecture to calm the tension and hatred between Phingiwe and Isabel just before Tapiwa and Vinny's wedding.

With Isabela arrested at the wedding, what could the future hold for these two mothers?
