Grassroots: Buzwe is losing his grip on reality
It’s the case of the short man syndrome taking full effect as Buzwe throws his toys at the expense of his wife, Epainette.
Buzwe is losing control. His son is still in Johannesburg against his wishes; he’s still sour about what Epainette did, and his money is not working in his favour.
The couple engaged in a war of words that turned into an unexpected physical altercation after Epainette expressed her thoughts about Buzwe’s role as a man.

Epainette did not mince her words, and she went straight for the jugular.

In his attempt to discourage Funeka, Buzwe tried to bribe her but no amount of money in the world will convince Funeka not to get to the truth. Her determination is increasingly frustrating Buzwe, and unfortunately, he is directing all his frustrations towards his wife.
