This April, Mzansi Magic is bringing a heart-wrenching and powerful new drama, Inimba, a story about love, sacrifice, and the unshakable bond between a mother and her child.
Zoleka Mabandla seemed to have it all. She had a growing career, a loving husband, and a promising future ahead of her. But when her husband, Hlathi, demanded that she choose between her dreams and their family, Zoleka made the ultimate sacrifice. Choosing family over ambition, she let go of everything she worked so hard for.
Fast forward 20 years, and Zoleka is now a successful tech mogul. But while she has everything she could have dreamed of in her career, she has lost the one thing that mattered most—her daughter, Qhawe. Zoleka is determined to reclaim her life and rebuild the relationship with her daughter, but she quickly discovers that the past is not so easily erased.
As Zoleka tries to reconnect with her daughter, a fierce battle brews—old wounds, broken promises, and unresolved resentment from the past begin to surface. The stakes are high, and Zoleka finds herself caught between love and bitterness. Will she be able to heal the deep rift between her and Qhawe, or are some wounds too painful to mend?
Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net, shares, “Inimba is a story of multi-faceted themes—looking at the challenges of being traditionally married while pursuing a career, a mother’s love, and her attempt to regain the family she lost. It also explores the complexities of family dynamics, where hurt and betrayal have been deeply ingrained. This is a story that will surely keep viewers coming back for more.”
With a stellar cast including Lunathi Mampofu (Code 13, 1802), Sisa Hewana (Unmarried), Siyabonga Shibe (Sibongile & The Dlaminis), Zenande Mfenyana (The Queen), Ayakha Ntunja (In The Dock), Prince Grootboom (1802: Love Defies Time), Nkanyiso Makhanya (Umkhokha: The Curse), and Andrea Dondolo (The Queen), Inimba promises to captivate audiences and leave them glued to their screens.
Don’t miss the premiere on Monday, 14 April at 21:00, only on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161). A mother’s love is timeless, and no matter how much time passes, it never fades.
