After seeing Merci’s face all over the news, Thembi goes to the police and tells them everything she knows. Heist, Tuesdays at 9:30PM.
Last week Merci figured out where 5Bob might be holding Thato captive. Meanwhile, Mark tried to figure out the clue Bra Talent left him and ended up in the church. After he prayed to God to keep his son safe, the pastor came up to him and said the exact words Bra T wrote in the note: “Only in the house of the lord can we find our own redemption.”
The pastor then pointed to the cross in the church and told Mark that “our king of kings died on the cross for our salvation”. Mark then walked over to the cross, lifted it up and found the rest of the heist money stashed underneath it.
When he got home he didn’t tell Merci about the money he found, instead, he followed her lead as they set off to find 5Bob.
But tonight, after Thembi spilled the beans to the police, they are hot on Mark and Merci’s trail.
Will they be caught before they find Thato?

His on screen marriages may be rocky, but his real marriage is the ultimate #Relationshipgoal!
It’s the month of love and no couple inspires us quite like Mduduzi Mabaso and his wife Fatima. The actor who plays Suffocate has been married for 10 years and is not shy to profess his love for his wife on social media.
Here’s what we love about Mdu and Fatima.
They appreciate each other
Just one look at their Instagram accounts and you’ll see that they really appreciate each other. Mdu feels blessed to have Fatima in his life and she often refers to him as her ace. In an interview with Drum Magazine last year, Mdu said that marriage had changed him for the better.
They love spending time together as a family
The couple have three children together and their family pictures on social media are just adorbs! When they’re not working they post the cutest videos of their children dancing while they are chilling at home.
They support each other
Fatima is Mdu’s biggest fan and she’s not afraid to show it. We love how she praises him for his brilliant work on Rhythm City. But it’s clear that he wouldn’t be where he is if it wasn’t for her.
Who’s your favourite celebrity couple?
