More Drama Awaits us In The New Season Of The River

Back like it never ended 1Magic’s telenovela ‘The River’ brings more undiluted drama this season five. 

The new season started us off with the most anticipated wedding we thought we were not getting in the previous season. Mabutho played by Thembinkosi Mthembu and Nomonde played by Linda Mtoba’s  finally tied a knot in the first episode.  We remember the couple falling in love in season 4 and Mabutho lying about being a rich business man, turned out Nomonde loved him enough to sleep in a shack.

New week and a whole new season!!! 🔥 🔥
What are you most looking forward to this season looking at this teaser?

We all know the telenovela’s weddings are not just weddings; there is always a hot spicy dish to serve.  It is for that reason the wedding ended with the biggest plot twist of the decade.  What did Mabutho do to Zweli (Hlomla Dandala)?  We don’t want to spoil your fun in case you haven’t watched, but let me advise you to quickly go catch it up because Mabutho has a bleeding Zweli on a bathroom floor and Nomonde knocking at the door.

The wedding was lit we agree, but not as lit as Lindiwe aka ‘Umadla bantu’ played by the award winning Sindi Dlathu. Let just say in the previous season udle (ate) uMohumi played by former Generations and The Republic actor Seputla Sebogodi. That is how the season ended with the bang as Lindiwe   helped by Tsotsi film star Presley Chweneyagae eliminated a common enemy Mohumi, by making him swim in a crocodile-infested river.

IT HAS ALL COME FULL CIRCLE !!! 🔥 🔥

Mohumi disrespected a BOSS and he doesn’t get to live to tell the tale. Go fedile botlhoko and she took back what belongs to her! There can only be ONE!

And that’s a wrap on #TheRiver1Magic S4!

Viewers better be glued in their screen because season five did not come to play. Well if you thought the drama was over wait until you watch the released Zolani played by Big Bother Mzansi’s presenter Lawrence Maleka search for his wife Emma ( Lunathi Mampofu). The same wife he killed a man for and  went to jail. The only problem, Emma is nowhere to be seen.

Vuuuka vuka vuka!! 🗣️ Zolani ubuyile and this time for good! But, he comes with a heavy question that everyone has no clue where to start answering. Tricky.
