Every early evening at 6:30PM on e.tv, viewers got a dose of drama drawn from the experiences of Dr Mbali Mthethwa. Mbali went through the most during her first days as an intern at Durban General, and this soon became her life. She shared absolutely everything with her colleagues, friends, family members, and with us, the viewers.
Sadly, Dr Mbali’s story comes to an end this week.
A KZN, Durban based show on e.tv, Durban Gen was justifiably a 6.30PM masterpiece. Featuring beautiful talent and new faces such as Nelisiwe Sibiya, Fanele Ntuli, we also saw the renowned “dark chocolate” Mike Dlangamandla, and of course, the veterans Meshack Mavuso, Hip Hop artist Zulu Boy, Nyaniso Dzedze, all honestly outstanding TV names.
So when the story began, Mbali met the love of her life, Dr Lindelani Zulu and at this point, they are strangers. Although, they do look so good together- dark chocolate meets a proudly Zulu princess. But, it’s tricky this union, as Mbali is spoken for by another man.
The season finale sees Dr Mbali finding love after losing her traditionally chosen husband. She was forced to remarry, but this didn’t work out. She bravely tries to continue on her journey but the story of her life is about to end… After her passing and upon arrival in heaven or wherever she went, she makes her return back to earth, where she is reunited with the first love of her life.
Mbali & Lindelani, is this a happy ending? Last episode, Friday, 14 April, 6:30PM.
The last 5 episodes of Durban Gen will PREMIERE on eExtra from Monday, 17 April 2023 to Friday, 21 April 2023 at 22h30.
Durban Gen will also have an Omnibus on e.tv on Sunday 23 April 2023 at 12h30
