My Brother’s Keeper tells the story of the Shabalala family, a wealthy and powerful clan drawn into a deadly succession battle of its own. The show stars Wiseman Mncube as Nqubeko, the headstrong and overambitious son of a mistress tired of being sidelined by his father. Nqubeko decides to break the rules of “ukungena” (the Zulu custom of marrying a deceased brother’s widow) by going after his brother’s widow, Fakazile (played by Zola Nombona), the woman who holds the controlling power over the Shabalala family empire.
My Brother’s Keeper airs on Mzansi Wethu from Mondays to Fridays at 19h30.
