Religion vs tradition

Thathe is filled with funeral wars and supernatural beings.

- SANUSHA SHAMDUTT

Since Vho-Mukondeleli's (Elsie Rasalanavho) death, Chief Azwindini (Gabriel Temudzani) has been mourning his aunt while the royals and Vho-Mukondeleli's family are divided on how to give her a proper burial. "Azwindini's mother Vho-Masindi (Regina Nesengani) says that she wants Vho-Mukondeleli's body to stay a night at the Royal House, but her request is thrown out by Vho-Mukondeleli's family," says Gabriel. And these differences will lead Azwindini down a dark, dangerous path with the ancestors.

LISTEN CAREFULLY

"The differences between the families boil down religion versus tradition," Gabriel explains. "The Royal family believe that the funeral should be done in a traditional way and that the body should return to the Royal House because that is the house she was married into, but Vho-Mukondeleli's family want things to be done the Christian way with a proper graveyard burial."
