Despite spending time in Belgium and later France under quarantine and medical screening measures to ensure they had not contracted Ebola, not a single DR Congo supporter traveling from Kinshasa was granted a U.S. visa for the World Cup. Among them was Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, better known as “Lumumba,” an iconic Leopards supporter who became one of the most recognizable faces of AFCON 2025.
Since the start of this tournament, we have been witnessing clear bias against African countries embedded in visa and immigration systems.
I watched and enjoyed it but my brain couldn’t help but wonder:
1. Why did Mpume just forgive Freedom (and Sarah) so quickly after accusing them of stealing her phone? Then why did Menzi not realise his was stolen too? What was the point of that storyline if she wasn’t gonna get caught?
2. After the “two years later” from when the HIV was detected, why did nobody actually change? Essie’s hair was still exactly the same, wardrobe was still the same for all of them, make up was the same… only Mpume change a bit with a wig
3. Why was Xolani at Joyce’s book launch??
4. Why did they not have a nurse to look after Jonasi?? Aren’t they filthy rich?
5. Why did Lindani’s mom not arrest Jonasi? Okay fine… why leave out a very NB statutory rape storyline?
6. Why did Joyce and Mam’Grace not just ask the receptionist at Icebolethu where the funeral was happening instead of going on a witch hunt?
7. How did SAPS just agree to go and fetch the body at the funeral when Essie is also Jonas’ wife and that’s why Icebolethu released the body to her?
8. Did Lindani not go to Durban as a virgin and come back a woman?? So ke how was it possible for Xolani to be a candidate baby daddy when she found out she’s pregnant? When did she sleep with Xolani? And why the heck did she have a can of whipped cream in her bag when she was at the twins’ baptism party?? 🤣😭
I have many many many more questions but all in all… uSue Nyathi ubhalile shame!!! 👏 👏 👏 The Polygamist is a great watch when you khuza yourself every time you start to over think the scenes
