MKABAYI ZUNGU 

Age: 50

Mkabayi is Mpiyakhe’s older sister. Without children of her own, she is the strong matriarch of the Zungu homestead. Pugnacious, abrasive, tough talking matriarch of the family in KwaZulu-Natal. Is forced into a more high-profile public and political 
involvement with the taxi business. 

Still mourns a lost love and struggles to show her softer side. She learns to lead and find time to listen to the people around her.

Values
Mkabayi is a proud woman . She does not believe that leopards change their spots. She is suspicious and untrusting. She believes in family and traditions and in business. It’s survival of the fittest. ‘An eye for an eye’.

IRIS ZUNGU

Age: 36

Mercantile, calculating and manipulative ‘city wife’ of Mpiyakhe. Married for money, power and position.
She is willing to do almost anything to retain and grow those things. Morally questionable and deeply flawed.
Values
Iris desires, above all else, material security. She wants status and power but does not know how to achieve this without riding on the tailcoats of a powerful man.

SIPHOKAZI ZUNGU

Age: 45

The oldest of Mpiyakhe’s wives, is a respected childless matriarch with an irreverent, slightly wicked, sense of humour and a secret smoking habit.
Her astute but inexperienced business skills are put to the test when ‘the wives’ get a catering contract on the road construction project.
Values

Family, tradition. The welfare of her extended family.
