Please…
Please.
-What are you doing, Dineo? -You burnt my house!
Whose sister is a mistress?
You didn't tell your brother about the child you abandoned?
She's younger than me, so when was she conceived?
You and Mom have been married a very long time.
Where is she now? I know her, she's probably wrecking another home.
Seeing as she died a month ago…
I'm so sorry about your loss, my child. How did she pass away?
And did you check Valencia's whereabouts a month ago?
…that I run around burning houses?
Where were you the day Parliament was burning?
Excuse me?
Nothing is complicated here. I am your daughter.
Just give me what's owed to me.
And you…
This is not the show Utatakho.
We're going to get DNA tests done, and then we're doing a--
Listen…
On condition that you leave this place. We don't want to see you.
No, Vusi. Hold on, Vusi.
I've been mad at my mom…
But now I get it.
She was saving me.
You Twala people,
you're full of shit.
Oh yeah, that's what I came here for.
She was seen driving off in one of the game drive cars.
You can go back to living your lives…
Leave me alone!
Calm down.
Okay, I'll let go of you.
You people…
you're all full of shit.
So all this time, you knew, and you said nothing?
You said nothing.
About what?
Uh, okay, listen, my boy, go and find your brother.
We'll meet out front.
Go.
How are your bowel movements now?
…a starter for the lions by now.
There's no lion that will eat my sheep.
Even if you call it a lion in Zulu.
This is Succulent we're talking about.
Succulent is Houdini.
He's Ananias Mathe.
This is your fault, Grace.
But, brother…
Okay. The problem is that
other people's brothers have dogs as pets.
My brother has Succulent.
You see! You're at it again.
Brother, no!
It's my fault.
Knowing that I'm about to be a father.
What kind of father am I going to be?
Brother, we will find Succulent.
It's the last thing Beauty needs right now.
You're right. You're right.
So Beauty should just leave me now.
Oh my goodness.
Beauty, your people are looking for you.
My goodness.
What's your problem?
My goodness, this girl.
Hey, I'm not going back there.
Ah! You peed yourself?
Girl…
Beauty, I don't know anything about babies.
I only came here for Vusi.
Yes. He's my father. No, sperm donor.
By the time we get to the hospital,
your baby will be wiping its own bum.
Sit down.
Nothing's going to happen to your baby.
We just need to make a plan.
I also had a plan.
Befriend Thando, go to your baby shower, meet my dad…
But that didn't happen. We just have to come up with a new plan.
This whole process is frustrating.
When I realized at your baby shower that he knew who I was…
There's a spa here, right?
But they have a Jacuzzi there.
Okay, breathe. Let's go.
You slept with Kopano and ditch her?
You're too loud. You'll wake the baby.
You're telling me you picked Valencia over the sexy Kopano?
I don't care how sexy she is.
You're lying. You weren't.
How would you know?
All this time,
I thought that I had bad luck, thinking Mom is angry at me.
But it's actually you she's angry with, you sly dog,
because you abandoned your child.
-What is it? -Shaka needs to go and sleep.
He's already asleep.
He pooped so he's in a lot of shit.
And now you're also in shit.
Val, listen.
-What I was trying to say was-- -I see now, Vusimuzi Twala.
When you think about your family…
all this time,
you were thinking about her?
This means…
You were thinking about her? Huh?
I'm sorry.
I don't want to lie to you, Val.
When I still had the chance.
Beauty is a real drama queen.
Every year, we're looking for her.
Have you forgotten about your deadbeat father…
I think that…
…it would be better if you were a little bit more supportive.
What's happening? Ouch.
What's wrong?
Themba, what are you doing here?
Again?
Sorry for your loss, Uncle.
You were my light.
You were my blanket when it was cold.
Uncle, please.
Brother, we have to go.
Brother…
Please sing with me.
Or I wouldn't have known what you did.
I know, Dineo.
Is she the one you wanted arrested?
Hey, isn't that the boss lady?
And you want to arrest her?
But she's the one who called us.
Knock, knock.
Please.
Valencia, I didn't come here to fight, but…
-She needs to go to the hospital. -We can't. The baby is coming now.
Where's the key?
The cart did well, my love.
It survived.
You know, when a person dies, and their spirit comes back…
Maybe Succulent will be reborn as the baby.
I can feel it here.
What do you mean? You need to stop kicking people out.
I love this for you guys…
She needs you here, and so does my hand.
Sbu, here's the speaker.
Please give me my phone.
It's okay, Beauty.
Let me fetch your mother.
Listen, I know that they did dumb shit.
But she's still your mother.
If my mother was still alive…
…in my life.
Is it poisoned?
I lied to my child about who her father is.
Two men walked out on me.
One could say…
But you'll be fine.
Tell me something, Dineo.
So you can drink the poison.
I get no joy seeing another woman in distress.
I'm sorry.
It's Beauty.
Come.
-Come. -Let's go.
We're coming.
Uh, it's poo.
Dineo, here you go.
Here's the string.
Cut the cord.
Cover him.
It's baby Jesus.
Let me get the uncles. My goodness.
It's a boy.
Grandpa's boy.
-Where's the child? -Shaka is crying.
Hello, Jesus.
And then this?
Shadrack also wants some.
No, Shadrack.
Let my brother be.
…that I wanted a relationship with Zama…
…didn't want to cause you any more pain.
I can't do it anymore.
I've never had a problem with Zama.
You know that you and I do things together.
Yes, you don't deserve me.
Let's go and look for her.
And finally, she can spend Christmas with her father.
Her car is gone.
What do we do now?
Look at the king.
…when he's sleeping.
But, my love…
He's a Twala.
Oh, geez.
So he's not the Dingane to your Shaka anymore?
You see…
You've wasted so much time
trying to impress your father like a ten-year-old.
The guy who worked hard to turn his life around in just two years.
Only then will your father see the real you.
We know that the king needs potty training before that happens.
…just hang around?
Go to sleep?
I'm tired.
This one mustn't wake up.
Let's go.
Knock-knock.
Try to avoid that.
You weren't listening, were you?
Thank you.
My baby.
Hey, where's Granny?
Where's Granny?
I don't know what I did, but I can send you an eWallet.
Excuse me, lady.
Get out of the car.
…we can start the conversation again, then--
Or maybe Zama could just get out of the car.
How do you know my name?
You follow me on Instagram and want a selfie?
My eyes are red.
And it's not that I've smoked weed. It's just that I've been crying--
…this is a family emergency, but this one needs the handcuffs.
Thirdly…
…her attitude stinks.
So you're here to insult me?
Zama, listen…
…had an agreement that we were gonna cut ties
but still support you financially.
But now, we are really sorry.
You don't want me around.
So I don't want you or your money.
But you need family, right?
Yes, you need family.
My mom loved Christmas.
She was the queen of cooking seven colors, big tree, lots of presents.
It was you.
I'm sorry.
Stupid sheep.
Brother…
Do you think that those animals
thought Succulent tasted good?
Grace, what are you asking me?
Your boyfriend is the lion whisperer.
Ask him to ask his lions what Succulent tasted like.
I didn't call him Succulent for nothing.
Here you go, brother.
Succulent is now my ancestor.
Dineo, why are you screaming?
Um, I'm here to say
let's cook Christmas lunch.
…other people's food.
Every year you bring your own food.
Yeah, it's really good.
Whose house did you burn down now?
Food that's delicious, you know? Seven colors.
Let me get my apron.
You brought your own apron?
It's as if you don't know me at all.
Let's not make this awkward.
Hello, everyone.
How are you?
Lion of Judah's father.
That's me.
How are you?
Say hello to the little one. Don't squish his head.
Let's go.
…felt like a really bad episode of Khumbul'ekhaya. You know?
Run as fast as you can.
…that's been happening?
…having this conversation.
Please stop.
You know, my mother loved seven colors.
But your mother tried.
May I please…
Dad, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I behaved earlier when I said…
The way I spoke to you… It's just the whole Zama thing,
it's like being told that Father Christmas is not real.
If you can mess up, what chance do I have?
Forget about that. We'll look at it next year.
The food is going to get cold.
Family…
Before we eat, we pray first.
Please close your eyes.
Shadrack, take off your hat.
My brother, what happened to your hair?
I've… I've lost someone.
I was going to pour one out for my ancestor.
-Let's pray. -Okay, fine.
Close your eyes.
Our faithful Father,
bless the hands that spent all night
preparing this food that we're about to eat.
Prepare the hands of those who will be washing the dishes.
I'm not done.
Take off your hat.
We are grateful for the gift of having family…
Thank you for the new life
that has brought us together.
The memories of the people
who are no longer with us,
but are in our hearts
and are with us in spirit.
When the floods and fires
threaten to destroy what we've built,
may we take comfort in knowing that as a family
our hearts are united.
Whether it's through marriage,
blood, or circumstance.
But God,
if we remain united, nothing can tear us apart.
Even though this family is a mess,
but dear God,
I'm glad to be a part of it.
Thank you.
Okay, I see things clearly now.
What?
Mom sent me a sign.
She says you all need me.
So I've decided I'm moving to Joburg to be close to you all.
Yeah, I'm staying with you, brother, until I find my own place.
Yeah, and then, we're going to Konka every day.
And you're going to introduce me to your parliament friends.
You see?
This family likes to talk.
Yes?
-What did he say? -Money.
Where we are right now…
I'd like to say happy birthday
to the newest member of the family, Prince Twala!
Can we please eat already?
It's quite nice.
Ah! Finally, the thirst has been quenched.
What are you doing here? Who's this?
Shadrack said it, "fornication."
The insurance people called. Go find Shadrack.
Right now.
Yes, sister.
Sister!
-Where are we going? -No, stand here.
The insurance people called.
They said someone taped up the main switch.
It was that electrical problem that started the fire.
-Grace said I mustn't tell the truth. -Brother!
Let's focus on who did wrong here,
and not who tried to help them cover it up.
Technically, Valencia also started a fire.
It's fine. In John, chapter one,
the verse says God gives,
and God takes.
In saying that,
if He has given me the gift of a wealthy family in the Twalas,
whomst are we to say no to God?
You can't sing, Grace.
Everyone in South Africa knows what a kota is.
What's the main ingredient in kota?
You must talk to the Minister of Home Affairs.
Yes, we call it French polony, and it's eaten with a kota.
You can even eat it with mash.
Even on a toothpick with cheese.
You must be enterprising.
Gosh!
I'm like this
because of you.
Vally, they're calling you.
