We will get a front row seat into all her troubles of fighting with the prison warder, her running, trying to make things right with Vicky while worrying about her sister, Katlego, who is being transferred to Kgotsong Asylum. Monde is very ambitious and I was afforded a great opportunity to be in a different space "
