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.
