Worrying symptoms push Kabisi’s family and friends to wonder what’s really ailing the Moroka elder.

Health scare

It’s been a rough few months for the Morokas. Doctor Sphe (Pearl Monama) lost her dad Jack (Vusi Kunene) in a horrifying chainsaw attack, and Tshidi (Letoya Makhene) had to deal with the fallout of the new Moroka Media threat against her beloved #Ezweni. But the universe has one more zinger to throw the Morokas’ way, and this time Kabisi’s (Mpho Joseph Molepo) health is on the line.

SO METAL

Kabisi has been experiencing a number of concerning symptoms of late. “His food tastes like metal, he is dizzy and his vision is blurry,” reveals Mpho. While the metallic taste sensation is odd, Mpho says that his character doesn’t worry about it just yet, chalking it up to old age. But when he starts feeling nauseous and develops a fever, Kabisi pays a bit more attention. “He knows that it’s not uncommon for men of his age to get sick every now and then,” Mpho explains, adding that his character isn’t ready to consult a medical professional just yet.

Unfortunately, a few days of self-medication and rest has a worse effect on Kabisi. His wife Tshidi is left shaken when she finds her hubby sweating profusely and looking gravely ill in bed. But Mpho says even this early-morning scare isn’t enough to get Kabisi to seek medical advice. “Tshidi wants to phone Sphe straight away, but he stops her. He’s sure it’s just stomach flu.” A day or two later, things seem to be improving and Kabisi is back on his feet. But Mpho warns us that the upturn in his health is short-lived. “Even though he seemed to be getting better, he starts to develop other symptoms that point to something more serious.” For the first time, Kabisi is genuinely concerned and finally agrees to pay Sphe a visit.
