So last week on Umlilo we began the lesbian plot line – two of the patriarch Mnqobi’s wives begin a secret affair with one another. The response was huge, we trended globally twitter – one of the top 50 things talked about all over the world.
This is why I love TV – reaches millions, can at times challenge and spark. We’re running this line in a country where lesbians are still “correctively raped” to try and fix them. See the responses below, a mix of excitement, misogyny, intrigue . . .
