"When they got the cars, their relationship seemed good. I said that their relationship will stay like this until Lwandle decides to start his own family. I don't want to blame the girlfriend, but I also don't want to blame the mother."

@ma_taps pointed fingers at a specific source of conflict:

Not everyone was focused on the storyline, though. @Th3_kisO had a more blunt take on Abongwe herself:

"Abongwe has an annoying voice; I don't get why she speaks with that deep fake lazy tone."
