Siyacela Dlamuka has once again sparked outrage among viewers following a disturbing preview of the upcoming episode of Isencane Lengane.
The clip, which is set to air on Sunday, showcases a shocking meltdown that left fans questioning his mental state and emotional stability.
In the snippet, Siyacela is seen lashing out in a fit of rage, unleashing a flurry of profanities aimed not only at his family but also at his wife,
Thando.
This wasn’t just a heated argument — it was a full-blown verbal explosion that painted a very different picture from the man we thought was
seeking redemption just a few episodes ago.
What happened to the Siyacela who claimed he wanted to change?
What happened to the promises of better communication and improved respect?
All of that now seems like a distant memory, shattered by the venom of his latest outburst.
During this episode, Siyacela aggressively declares that he will take another wife whether Thando agrees or not.
He even goes so far as to threaten divorce, nonchalantly suggesting they go through with it if she doesn’t accept his plans.
This cavalier attitude has infuriated fans, and rightly so.
One of the most jaw-dropping moments comes when one of Siyacela’s stepmothers casually states that Thando is just going through the same
struggles she once did.
That comment hits differently — not because it’s supportive, but because it exposes the toxic cycle that’s been normalized in their family.
Instead of correcting Siyacela, his family enables him.
Instead of guiding him, they shield him from accountability.
And that’s the real tragedy here — Siyacela behaves this way because no one ever tells him he’s wrong.
No one challenges him.
That’s why Malume Jabulo’s past confrontation with him was such a cultural shock — it was the first time someone dared to discipline him.
Without people like Jabulo around, who will ever rein him in?
How far will this behavior go before it becomes completely irredeemable?
While Siyacela’s actions are undeniably disgraceful, fans are now turning their focus toward Thando.
How long will she continue to tolerate this abuse?
How long will she let herself be humiliated for the sake of love or possibly a TV paycheck?
It’s heartbreaking to watch Thando endure this toxic relationship week after week.
Even her parents are being disrespected on national television, yet she stays.
Why?
Is it fear?
Denial?
Or is it hope — the most dangerous emotion of them all?
What makes it even worse is that a child is now part of this equation.
This isn’t just about Thando and Siyacela anymore.
Their child is being raised in a home filled with rage, disrespect, and emotional turmoil.
This is no place for a child to grow.
In a recent episode, Siyacela attempted to take Thando out on a date, as if a simple gesture could erase all the pain.
To many viewers, it looked like a sweet reconciliation.
But to those familiar with abusive dynamics, it was something more sinister — it was love bombing.
Siyacela was using affection as a tool to manipulate her into staying.
This emotional whiplash — going from a romantic date to screaming profanities and threatening divorce — is the classic sign of an abusive
cycle.
And the internet has taken notice.
One viewer commented, “Thando, please leave this boy,” earning over 5,000 likes.
Another shared, “I wish I could take Thando on a real date and show her what love is.”
The frustration is growing, and the calls for change are louder than ever.
Some fans are even suggesting that the show be canceled entirely.
Is it time for producers to step in?
Should the nation intervene for Thando’s safety?
At this point, it seems she has endured more than enough.
South Africa is watching.
And hearts are breaking.
Will Thando find the strength to walk away?
Or will the cycle of abuse continue, captured week after week on our screens?
Only time will tell.
But one thing is clear: something needs to change, and fast.
