It's been an emotional rollercoaster with both Maidi and William fighting to win her heart, the decision has been a tough one.
Trouble seems to follow Rhythm City’s Tshidi. Just when she manages to settle in her studies, she’s hit with a love triangle and forced to choose between her husband, William, and Maidi.
Born in Soweto and raised in Soshanguve, Pretoria, Nokuthula Ledwaba the woman behind Tshidi, tells us what’s going on inside Tshidi’s mind.
Explain what’s been happening with Tshidi.
Phew! What a rollercoaster this has been. I think part of the reason Tshidi is going through this turmoil is because she often tries to be the saviour and is a people pleaser. Tshidi’s love for William mostly comes from a place of pity, she feels sorry for him, and she’s choosing him because it’s the right thing to do, he is her husband after all. I think if there weren’t these complexities involved with William, Tshidi would be with Maidi.
What’s been the most difficult part in choosing between the two men?
These men are different and unique in their own way, William has the typical husband qualities and Maidi is very worldly. Tshidi’s mind has been racing to get a solution that works for all. William is now part of the Khuse family and is very caring. The confusion stems from the fact that both William and Maidi have a bit of what Tshidi wants, and the difficulty was choosing which character overrides the other.
What does Tshidi ultimately want?
She wants to feel loved, be happy and ultimately have a family of her own. She also wants to be secure in her relationship with a partner who supports her dreams, and she doesn’t want to have to look over her shoulder.
What do you hope for Tshidi in the future?
I really hope that she’ll start dealing with her own issues. She’s always been dependent on others for happiness. I think she’ll try and find her own path and be able to embrace her past while spearheading her future.
A look back at Tshidi’s troubled past:
- She once tried getting into music.
- She’s a recovered drug addict.
- She was sexually harassed when she worked as a receptionist at Zondi Enterprises.
- She almost eloped with her drug dealer, King.
- She dated Maidi while he was married and had to deal with Nozipho’s wrath.
