Agony aunty

Ausi Ntsoaki is wrecking James and Marang’s happy house.

- EMILE BUTLER-O’BRIEN

James (Dingaan Mokebe) and his fiancée Marang (Sharon Seno) may have gotten rid of one problem – James’s drama babymama Meiki (Nthabi Tau) arrived in May to win him back – but another problem is about moving in. Marang’s aunt Ausi Ntsoaki (Meme Ditshego) needs a place to stay while she’s looking for a new job in Johannesburg. “Ausi Ntsoaki is from Mafikeng and is not someone to be messed with,” says Meme. “She is greedy, always gets what she wants, and doesn’t take a no for an answer.” And Ausi Ntsoaki’s meddling is going to make the couple’s lives uncomfortable.

OUT IN THE COLD

Ausi Ntsoaki knows how to manipulate her niece, using her sob life story to get her way with Marang: how her husband kicked her and the kids out of the house and they are now living with their grandparents in Mafikeng. How she lost her job and was forced to move to find a new an income. “This is part of her plan to win over Marang,” says Meme. If Ausi Ntsoaki plays her cards right, she’s hoping to score free board and lodging with Marang and James.
