If you survived all 22 episodes of The Polygamist, you deserve a cup of tea, counselling, and a warm blanket.
Because Jonasi Gomora is not a character you just watch.
He follows you into your thoughts.
Ladies, let us be honest. Many of you look at men like Jonasi from a distance and think, “That is the kind of man I want.”
But could you actually stand him in real life?
Could you live with that charm?
Those secrets?
That confidence?
That smooth talking?
That double life energy?
Meet Jonasi Gomora, played by the talented S’dumo Mtshali.
And my brother, S’dumo did not just act.
He delivered.
He nailed this role so well that Jonasi became more than entertainment. He became an eye-opener for society. Through this character, we saw what it really means to live with a man who knows how to smile in public while causing stress behind closed doors.
That is why this show hits differently.
Jonasi made some women appreciate their own husbands more, because sometimes people keep comparing their partners to what they see outside, without knowing the full story inside someone else’s home.
The grass always looks greener from far away.
Until you get close and realize it is being watered with secrets.
That “perfect man” you admire from outside might be a full-time problem inside the house.
S’dumo Mtshali deserves respect for this performance.
He made us laugh.
He made us angry.
He made us think.
He made us question what we call love, marriage, and loyalty.
Jonasi Gomora is dangerous because he is believable.
And that is powerful acting.

Why do millennials age like they found a glitch in the system? They’ll say they’re pushing 40 and still look like they just graduated yesterday. What's the secret?
A man was passing by his teenage son's bedroom and was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he noticed an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow, addressed to, 'Dad'.
With the worst premonition he opened the envelope and read the letter.
"Dear Dad ,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you.
I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.
I've been finding real passion with Stacy.
She is so nice, but I knew you wouldn’t approve of her because of her piercings and tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes and because she’s much older than I am.
But it's not only the passion, Dad.
She's pregnant.
Stacy said we’ll be very happy.
She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.
We share a dream of having many more children.
Stacy opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone.
We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
Don't worry Dad, I'm almost 18 and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Love, your son, Joshua.
P.S. Dad, none of the above is true.
I'm over at Jason's house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's on the kitchen table.
Call when it’s safe for me to come home.”
