The General’s fall from grace

Enoch makes his move against the General, launching an investigation into his past crimes of torture and homicide. The accusations hit the headlines, and with his dirty laundry exposed, the General’s reputation crumbles. When Uhuru directly confronts his father, the General denies everything, but the damage is done.

Zenzele corners Winnie

Enoch vs Moetie

In a tense showdown, General Moetie pleads with Enoch to reconsider his suspension and questions the source of the damning evidence. The fact that their children are married doesn’t sway Enoch, who refuses to back down. 

Winnie and Masasa face off

Winnie pays a tense visit to Masasa, attempting to intimidate her into pulling Zenzele out of Joburg. Winnie’s gamble fails spectacularly, as Sasa proves she’s no pushover.

Dora’s dangerous game

With his reputation in tatters, the General turns to Dora, begging her to appeal to Enoch on his behalf. Dora advises him to give up his dreams of becoming vice president, but does visit Enoch in the end to plead Moeti’s case.
