The Wife: Behind the Veil
The Wife broke records on Showmax, won DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Awards for Abdul Khoza (Nqoba) and Kwenzo Ngcobo (Qhawe), and is now up for 10 SAFTAs, including Best Telenovela, Best Actor (Bonko Khoza as Mqhele), Best Supporting Actor (Abdul Khoza as Nqoba), and Supporting Actress (Zikhona Sodlaka as Mandisa).
While you wait for The Wife Season 3 in November 2022, all your faves are back to revisit all the questions that kept The Wife at the top of Twitter every Thursday for two seasons. From never-seen-before-footage to Mbalenhle Mavimbela and Bonko Khoza talking about Hlomu and Mqhele’s toxic love story, from Khanyi Mbau and Mondli Makhoba talking about that sex scene to the producers and writers weighing in on the changes they made to Dudu Busani-Dube’s books, this is one special the 5am club won’t want to miss …
All 8 episodes are now streaming.
