House of Zwide 3 Full Story
Funani and Faith Zwide lead the fast-growing House of Zwide fashion and textile empire. Back in the early days, Faith, who used to be Funani’s secretary, had a romantic thing going on with him. The trouble started when Funani’s wife, Busi, found out about their affair. Faith tried to explain and say sorry, but it ended up in a big fight.
During the heated argument, Faith, all panicked, used scissors to harm Busi, and it sadly led to Busi’s death. In her distress, Faith reached out to Isaac, a hitman and her ex-boyfriend. Isaac, still having feelings for Faith, agreed to help her out.
They planned to set the house on fire with Busi inside, making it look like she died in the fire. After Faith left, Isaac went ahead with the plan. Little did he know, Nkosi and Zobuhle, Funani’s children, were inside. Isaac heard Zobuhle’s baby crying and decided to raise her as his own, naming her Onalerona.
