“You know I send prayers to Jacinta all the time. I send her encouragement, love and respect as well. I have no reason to call her about anything. You know what I mean? When I do have reason to call her, I will probably get a hold of her,” Nota Baloyi said.

Sfiso Ndlovu then surprised his co-hosts by revealing that he and Ngobese-Zuma had almost been romantically involved years ago.

“Jacinta and I almost had a thing way back when she was on radio. Doesn’t matter. I wanted to date her,” Sfiso said.

When Thakgi Ledwaba asked why the relationship never happened, Sfiso hinted that the former VUMA FM host rejected his advances.

“Let’s say she pretty much kwed (rejected me),” Sfiso said.

Despite the rejection, Sfiso had nothing but praise for Ngobese-Zuma. He shared more context on when he met the March and March Movement leader.

“She’s beautiful. She’s attractive. Especially when she's not fighting. Eh, when she's on her Mama Winnie mode, she becomes a different thing. But she’s beautiful, bra. Mind you, I met her way back when she was younger. I’m sure she didn’t have kids when I met her,” Sfiso explained.
