"For the first time, my heart is full after today's episode of Inimba. Hey, it's been a while. The heavy weight on Zoleka's shoulders and her narcissistic husband finally came to an end. How lovely!"
@mimmy_lou said:
"Yes, as soon as the Zolerus ship is on, Sydney will lose his mind 😭😭😭. But he keeps fighting losing battles 😭😭."

"Why is she jumping from man to man? She needs a break from romantic relationships. She needs to focus on Qhawe😭😭🙅🏻♀️."
@MasiloSedi responded:
"After being single for 20 years? And coming back to that man? I was gonna agree with you a few weeks ago, but now I need my girl to be loved, right?"
@mmapsie22 replied:
"When will Qhawe find out about her man was her mom's past love affair? They're just making Zoleka a South African version of Brooke Logam at this point. Not very empowering. Yuck."
@SikhumbuzoMali said:
"Another whack decision from Zoleka.🚮😏 But it's being lapped up because of aesthetics. Overlooking the fact that Lazarus has been married 3 times and they never worked out is enough reason to worry. But no, Zoleka should go for it because they look good together, and Qhawe will be happy. Let's watch and see."

Hlathi, played by former Isidingo actor Sisa Hewana, recently got dragged by viewers of the show when he mistreated his wife, Zoleka, played by Lunathi Mampofu.
Fans of the show are disappointed with Hewana's character, who has been financially and emotionally abusive towards the mother of his child and wife, Zoleka.
