 Ma Bandla s job is at risk as she plunges even deeper into drinking to forget her pain. Zukiswa wants to help but doesn t know what to do. She turns to the man who once loved her mother, even if he didn t know there had been a child, and asks for help. His cruel rejection sends her into a downward spiral and she makes a very foolish choice. The workers on the development are becoming angry as they are told there is no money for them at weeks end. Lwazi feels torn as he also has questions that aren t getting answered, but he wants to do his job well and regain some of the respect he has lost.
