WILL THE BHENGU FAMILY BE DIVIDED? The new season of Imbewu picks up as the mighty oil barons of KwaZulu-Natal, the Bhengu family, hang by a delicate thread.

Since the death of the patriarch, Zimele Bhengu, the question of ascendancy has been a sensitive one, and one best left alone. But the discovery of natural gas on family land in Umbumbulu brings this diplomacy to an abrupt end, reads the statement.

Divisions are drawn between Zithulele, and Nkululeko, both legitimate successors in their own right, forcing the Bhengu matriarchs, MaNdlovu and MaZulu to choose a side. This life-changing discovery threatens to destroy something the Bhengu family has long sought to protect - its unity. For the first time in its history, the Bhengu family runs the risk of being a family divided.
