Zanele Returns to House of Zwide for Shoki’s Farewell — A Night of Tears and Healing

House of Zwide fans, brace yourselves — Zanele is back, and her return promises one of the most emotional episodes yet.

Tonight’s episode will see actress Londeka Mchunu reprising her role as Zanele, returning home not for a celebration, but to mourn the devastating loss of her beloved sister-in-law, Shoki.

💍 More Than Just a Makoti

Zanele never saw Shoki as “just a makoti” (bride) to the Zwide family. Their bond ran deep — like real sisters.

“She was my friend, my family, my heart,” Zanele says in a preview clip.

The heartbreak is palpable. And for fans who watched their relationship blossom over seasons, tonight’s scenes will be tough to watch.

💔 Nkosi’s Darkest Hour

Zanele’s return isn’t just about grief — it’s also about standing by her brother Nkosi, who is completely shattered after Shoki’s tragic exit.

Having lost the love of his life, Nkosi is battling anger, guilt, and unbearable sorrow.
Zanele steps in to hold him up when he’s falling apart, bringing a much-needed softness and emotional anchor back into the Zwide household.
