Empini Season 1 episodes 23-24 recap: Family ties
This week on Empini, family ties are tested, secrets are exposed, and the future of MPS hangs in the balance. Khaya faces the fallout for disrupting Masasa’s life, while Ndoni uncovers disturbing truths about MPS’s newest client, leading to explosive consequences.
Here’s the recap.
Family friction

Sasa desperately tries to stop Mzo from leaving but he will hear no more of her lies and is done with her secrets. Zenzele, frustrated by Khaya’s presence, accuses Sasa of hiding the truth about her “cousin.” Mzo offers no clarity, fuelling Zenzele’s anger. As tensions between Zenzele and Khaya boil over, Sasa confesses to Zenzele who his real father is.
Ndoni digs for dirt on the Pastor

Initially impressed by the Pastor’s effect on his congregation, Ndoni soon grows suspicious of his methods, especially regarding young women. Her instincts tell her something is off and she starts digging into his dealings. It doesn’t take long for her to discover the Pastor’s dark side and find that he is swindling his congregation and stealing from the church. Ndoni exposes his secrets to the church board, igniting a firestorm.
Enoch’s advice

Nosi and Uhuru argue about the future of MPS. Uhuru believes it should be sold, while Nosi is determined to preserve her father’s legacy. Desperate to save MPS, she turns to her grandfather for advice. Shockingly, Enoch suggests selling the company while it still has value.
Khaya and Zenzele Bond

Khaya and Zenzele start to connect. Khaya opens up about his past mistakes with Sasa, earning Zenzele’s respect. He tries to convince Zenzele to return to Joburg with him, but Sasa refuses, stating: “Over my dead body.”
The Pastor’s retaliation

Ndoni’s exposure of the Pastor’s misdeeds puts MPS in a precarious position. Furious, the Pastor threatens to blacklist MPS from future church contracts nationwide and fires them on the spot.
How will this affect the future of MPS? Will Nosi seriously consider selling the company? And when will Khaya face the consequences of his actions?
