In The Wife Season 2, the gears shift as the telenovela explores another brother's complicated romance. We check in on eldest Zulu brother Nkosana (Mondli Makhoba) and his ex-convict wife, Zandile (Khanyi Mbau), who escaped prison in the finale of The Wife Season 1. Meanwhile, Mqhele and Hlomu's love story will continue to unfold in the background. As Khanyi explains, Zandile is trying to make up for lost time with her loved ones, but it won't be as easy as she anticipates. "Zandile wants to reclaim her family and forge a bond with her kids, but she's lost out on 10 years with them, and that's a long time. It breaks Zandile that she's estranged from her kids," explains Khanyi. What further complicates Zandile's attempts to connect with her kids is that they are attached to Hlomu to the point that they leave no room to connect with the former felon. Now Zandile will go to great lengths to get Hlomu out of the picture.
