"Doesn’t she do campaigns for Honor?"

@YolandaKarabo replied:

"Girls can’t have fun in peace now lol."

@MbusowMasango commented:

"I don't think she's a bad person in real life, but that Ntsoaki character on Skeem Saam did her brand dirty. I know she's a brand ambassador for Honor smartphones, but I don't want her near our cocomelons (Rele, Mohau, etc)."

@VisualsGiant wrote:

"That something doesn’t think. She is at work, a brand ambassador of Honor."

@Phuti_Phori responded:

"Her name is Lethabo Mekoa. She is a brand ambassador for Honor, hence her appearance here."

@Hloni59 commented:

"O phila Skeem Sam vele die kind, because she was wild on that series."

@MadibanaMatome said:

"Positioning yourself is very important in life."

@clockit235 responded:

"Why do y'all love humbling women? The moment you see a bubbly and playful person, you hate on them for no reason, but you love the 'shy, reserved, and unknown' ones."

"Proximity is important. She will get one soon. You've got to have a game plan."

@Lazarusshilaby2 reacted:

"Rele is now becoming Lamine Yamal. Them and older women who have seen them all.
Nkota, don't fall for this trap."

@g_stober commented:

"She's a kid and brand ambassador for Honor. Kante, what's wrong with kids playing with other kids if she's busy?"
