Thando and Siyacela Dlamuka went to visit Thando's hometown, Nkandla and to say she was welcomed with open arms is an understatement. Everyone was just too happy to see her, particularly her grandmother. She is such an amazing old woman that truly adores Thando. 
 
Their relationship is that of best friends and it is so beautiful to see. Thando's grandmother jokingly said that now that she has seen Thando, she can die. Thank God because Thando told her that she still hers some years left in her. 
 
Thando and Siyacela also went to see Siyacela’s gogo, who is Siyacela’s late mother and ntomboo is a vibe. She is from Umlazi and of course, she does not subscribe to the old way of doing things. 

She made it clear from the get-go that Thando is still a child and she will not address her as makoti (daughter-in-law) because to her, Thando is her daughter and as such Thando will be treated as one of her daughters. She does not like that Thando is dressed like an old woman and before we know it, she tells Thando to lose the doek she has over her wig and the long dress and put on one of the jeans she left when they visited her in March. Thando does not hesitate and she comes back looking snatched like she never was. The jean compliments her curves and Siyacela loves seeing her dressed like that. 

Even though Thando is a bit hesitant because she never wears jeans when she is with Siyacela’s father. She is scared, she may get spotted and Siyacela’s father will reprimand her because she is married and her dress sense should reflect. 

Gogo emphasises that Siyacela’s mother always trousers whenever she was home. Even when she went to Siyacela’s father, she wrapped a blanket over the trouser and the second she left the yard, she chucked the blanket. 

Gogo furthermore encourages Thando to go and play with her age mates outside once they finish cooking. It is clear that Gogo does not Thando to lose her playful years, she needs to be a child even though she is married. This is probably why Gogo does not want Thando to derail her life by getting pregnant and having a child. She tells Thando that because Siyacela’s mom is late, their baby will have no one to look after and she (gogo is not about to take care of a baby). She encouraged her to get her education in check and make sure that everything is set before thinking of those things. We love to see it. 

The polygamy topic made its way to one of the points of discussion when Thando visited one of her old friends before she got married. The friend asked what Thando would do should Siyacela want to follow in his father’s footsteps of polygamy. In true Thando fashion, she told her that she will not stand it. She will leave Siyacela to carry out his polygamy duties. When it comes to that, sis does not compromise. 

Thando seems more mature than Siyacela and we trust that she will deal with Siaycela the only way she knows how should he try to get her to partake in polygamy things.
