Ma Tumi put her niece Palesa on blast on Thursday night when the pair both challenged each other for the family house on Moja Love's reality show Kukithi La.
Tumi claims the family house which once belonged to her parents fell into the hands of her late brother's daughter.
Sis claims it was given to her by her dad and Tumi's brother before his death, but ma believes it should go back to her.
Ma felt she had been tricked out of the house, while sis believed the house was more of a curse than anything else.

Palesa had tenants renting out the property and was cashing in, but the family weren't happy.
Sis also felt that the family was treating her badly and wasn't too keen on the idea of sharing the property with them.
Fans of the show watched wide-eyed from the sidelines and jumped in every now and then to give their two cents on the drama unfolding on screen.
They brought the memes and pearls of wisdom.

Palesa came up with an idea to make money using the house. Ma-auntiza just wants to cash in on her idea not the house #KukithiLa pic.twitter.com/S0Sfl40Kf5

Guys let's be honest, its not easy getting a house and that is why aunts and uncles are fighting nephews and nieces over their family home. #KukithiLa

We can only hope shows like #KukithiLa are able to spark important conversations such as wills and inherence in African households to prevent conflicts and confusion after a member dies.

Both Aunty & Palesa have been sloppy.

Aunty,it seems,never bothered with the house while Patela was still alive.
Palesa needs to clean that yard up...it looks terrible.
They must both fix that home & work collaboratively.#KuKithiLa
