Kulani Maluleke wrote:

"Dintle and MaDlomo can be good friends if Dintle is not selfish when it comes to Nhloso's time, before marrying her. She wanted him at her place all the time; that's got to change."

Enah Bogatsu said:

"Nope, this is selfishness. I don't want them to get along because Dintle can not be trusted. She said she only wants Nhloso for herself, that's why she agreed to this."
