Fast forward to May 2019, MaNdlovu is now on a mission to introduce Thu to the Ndlovu ancestor's, however, Tuesday night's episode revealed that she went about it the wrong way. After revealing to the sangoma what she had done for Thu, she lamented at MaNdlovu's actions and informed her that what MaNdlovu had done may have deadly effects on Thu.
There is another strong element regarding the usage of another surname - Nzimande. This possibility has left many of us confused as to whether Thu Sheleni is a Ndlovu or Nzimande.

Which is why the Sangoma was uncomfortable with the fact that it was MaNdlovu who had personally performed that ritual.
