"Crazy to witness how Tau was not there for Malinga, though he cared for his family. Nonhle and Ayanda were also very disappointing. Lucy could have done something, but zero care for this thing we call life!"

@Bladeonlinenow wrote:

"I really hope the new head writer gets rid of Melo, Dali, Mpho, Lucy, Ayanda, and Tau. The characters have really reached the ceiling, and there’s nothing more they can do."

A"yanda is toxic, poor Tau is always compromising for the sake of peace."

@prim_ntomby commented:

"Ayanda is so much happier in this friend circle with Sphe and Nozipho."

@prim_ntomby reacted:

"Tau looked at his life and was like, I'm going to create an environment so dangerous and chaotic. He should have stuck to his tavern and made a happy girl. Buka manje," (Look at him now).
