Me: Barker Haines was a cop in Sarafina. All of SA entertainment is one long story. He was a Sarafina cop who (through corruption and name change) got into mining ko Horizon Deep.
Marcee:

That's why Busi Dlomo (Leleti ko Generations) is far away from Horizon Deep because Barker can't risk his past being exposed. Imagine if Busi went to Horizon Deep and said "this man, Barker Haines, was an apartheid era cop, don't trust him."

Zeb Matabane changed his named and moved to Horizon Deep after he was being denied by his shady ass family who "killed" him Hlala Kwabafileyo. He knew he would always be in danger if he carried on living as Mhlongo. Ma Agnes was the wife he never thought he would have.

Meanwhile Mhlongo's wife moved on and also changed her name (killer's also need anonymity) so became Sis' May and hired out one of her rooms to a messy guy named Sdumo.

While we are at it, Sdumo's real name is Jabulani Cebekhulu. After Sis' May kicks him out and he ends up scamming and working for Mr Cluver as a translater (Going Up).

Sibusiso Dlomo (Generations) doesn't talk about his past because he used to a small time gangster named Mazwi (Ubambo Lwam') who cared very much about his sister (Thoko) but he decided to move on. He met Sarafina and they decided to be succesful siblings ko Jozi.
