The River Rape Scene

Emma, played by Lunathi Mampofu was about to sign a deal of a lifetime with a potential investor called Zithulele who she was introduced to by her mother-in-law Lindiwe Dikana.

Viewers saw her presenting her business to Zithulele, played by Makhaola Ndebele, who seemed impressed with her beauty product and was willing to invest in her business idea.

What angered viewers, even more, was that after he left her crying in his office and bragged he was on his way to his wife.  How can someone be so cruel.

Is Lindiwe Setting Her Up?

• Some fans are now suspecting that Lindiwe Dikana is the one who arranged the sexual assault as the pair have never gotten along.
• Lindiwe, played by Sindi Dlathu, was the one who arranged for Emma to meet Zithulele and she was friendlier than usual towards her.
• Emma’s husband Zolani, played Lawrence Maleka, had a terrible feeling about Zithulele when he met him but Lindiwe assured him that he’s a good man.

The TVSA October teasers suggest that Emma won’t reveal what happened to her to Zolani or Lindiwe as she prefers to deal with it on her own.
