Mzansi Magic presents ‘Inimba’ – a story about a mother’s love that won’t be silenced!

March 3, 2025

Mzansi fam, brace yourselves because a powerful drama is about to shake your world! Inimba, a tale of love, sacrifice, and the unstoppable force of a mother’s bond with her child is landing this April on your home of local entertainment, Mzansi Magic.

Zoleka Mabandla had it all – a new family, a promising career and a dream job offering she found hard to refuse. But when her husband, Hlathi, forced her to choose between her ambition and their family, she made the ultimate sacrifice.

Fast forward 20 years and Zoleka is now a tech mogul, she’s here to reclaim her life and Qhawe, the daughter she lost. But she soon learns that the past doesn’t let go that easily. Battle lines are drawn— past vs. present, love vs. resentment – all because of broken promises. Will Zoleka mend the bond she was robbed of? Or are some wounds too deep to heal?

“Inimba is a story of multi-faceted themes – looking at the challenges of being traditionally married while pursuing a career, a mother’s love and her attempt to regain the family she lost and the complexities of family dynamics where there has been hurt and betrayal. It’s a story that will surely have viewers coming for more,” says Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net.

With a fire cast featuring Lunathi Mampofu (Code 13, 1802), Sisa Hewana (Unmarried), Siyabonga Shibe (Sibongile & The Dlaminis), Zenande Mfenyana (The Queen.1802), Ayakha Ntunja (In The Dock), Prince Grootboom (1802: Love Defies Time), Nkanyiso Makhanya (Umkhokha: The Curse), Andrea Dondolo (The Queen) Inimba will have you glued to your screens!

Catch the premiere on Monday, 14 April at 21:00 only on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) …because no matter the years, no matter the distance—a mother’s love never fades.
