Actors and real-life besties, Thembinkosi Mthembu and Wiseman Mncube, left many fans questioning their relationship after they were recorded in the middle of a heated argument.
The famous thespians, known for their roles on Shaka iLembe, had a passionate football debate and seeing that they support rival South African clubs, the argument did not end well.
A passionate Orlando Pirates supporter, Mthembu viciously roasted his friend's team, while Wiseman, considering his Kaizer Chiefs' recent performance, had very few comebacks to offer.
The argument supposedly stemmed from their clubs' past matches, which saw Chiefs come out victorious in most of their games, drawing one, and climbing up to second place on the log. Meanwhile, Pirates lost two matches and sit behind TS Galaxy at number five.
