Together again

Phumeza reunites with her long-lost identical twin sister Phumzile at Durban Gen hospital.

Nothing could’ve prepared Dur-ban Gen’s security guard Sibiya (Mthandeni Mbambo) for the shock when he recently spotted his nurse wife Phumeza (Tsidi Makitle) at a restaurant with another man. She was out of her uniform and acting out of character. “Phumeza is the type to keep to herself. So Sibiya was surprised when he saw her on a date,” explains Durban Gen publicist Thabile Mokone.

Sibiya waits to get home to confront Phumeza, but she has no idea of what he’s talking about. “Sibiya knows what he saw and he demands answers,” says Thabile. Phumeza has been willing to go to extreme lengths to prove her innocence, but Sibiya doesn’t believe her until something bizarre happens at the hospital this fortnight – something stranger than Phumeza cheating.

“It turns out that Phumeza has an identical twin sister named Phumzile (who’s played by Tsidi’s real-life twin Tsidiso). The women meet when Phumzile visits the hospital and Phumeza is just as shocked to learn about the news as Sibiya,” adds the publicist.
