Housekeepers: Clive meets his love child for the first time
How many plot twists does this season of Housekeepers have? We are starting to lose count. Are we complaining? No. The show always leaves our jaws on the floor and it keeps getting juicier. The latest shocker came this week after it was revealed that Mtho is actually Clive’s biological son.
It turns out, the late June Ndlovu had a relationship with Clive many years ago and they had a child together. Although he knew about his son, he never got to have a chance to be a part of his life. It was revealed that June and Clive had a complicated love affair and couldn’t be together because he was still married to his current wife, Noli. Mrs Ngubane knew exactly how much her husband loved June.
Clive meets Mtho
Now, many years later, Clive has decided that he wants to be involved in his child’s life. He told Noli that he would go looking for him and that’s exactly what he did. He took off and went to June’s grave. While he was standing there, he met Mtho, who had gone there to clean the grave.
The young man introduced himself as June’s son and asked Clive what he was doing there. He made up a story about how June had nursed him back to health when he was in hospital. Mtho was happy to meet someone who had good things to say about his mother. They exchanged numbers and went their separate ways.
Linda saves Mkhonto’s life
When Clive got home, he had a nasty argument with Mkhonto, who was hired by Noli to kill Mtho. Yes, this show gets hotter every second! He confronted her about it and ended up strangling her. Trying to protect Mkhonto, Linda walked and hit Clive on the head, and he fell to the ground.
It’s clear that Linda only protected Mkhonto because she needs her in order to destroy the Ngubane family. Right now, though, it’s unclear whether Mr Ngubane is still alive or not. Will he live to see another day? Stay tuned to Housekeepers to find out.
