SA reacts to Zoleka's mansion

In a previous report from Briefly News, fans of Inimba are concerned about their fan-favourite character, Zoleka.

The character, who is married to Hlathi, is in community of property, and she might lose half of her estate to her estranged husband after filing for divorce.

According to the storyline, Zoleka's estate is worth over R100 million, which means Hlathi might walk away a millionaire. "Zoleka’s estate is worth R200 million? Hlathi is about to become wealthy moes if Zoleka doesn’t successfully hide her assets," he wrote.
