Inimba's Zoleka (Lunathi Mampofu) got the surprise of her life this week when Lazarus (Loyiso McDonald) stepped up to be the father of her unborn baby.
Zoleka recently discovered that she is pregnant with her ex-husband, Hlathi's (Sisa Hewana), after filing for divorce.
Viewers of the Mzansi Magic TV show celebrated Zoleka and Lazarus this week after he informed his father that she's carrying his baby.
Entertainment commentator Jabu McDonald shared his reaction to Inimba's Lazarus announcing Zoleka as his baby mama on X account on Tuesday, 14 October 2025.
On the show, Zoleka found out that she's expecting a baby with his ex-husband, Hlathi (played by Sisa Hewana), who recently married her cousin, Thumeka (played by Zenande Mfenyana).
Viewers of the show despise Hlathi as he was emotionally and financially abusive towards Zoleka when they were married.
Inimba fans react to the baby news

"Haibo, y'all see nothing wrong with Lazarus using Zoleka to score points for his Father? I don't want that for MaZoe; she deserves better."
@jacquinomzi said:
"I can already hear Hlathi saying umntwana kaMabandla lo," (This is a MaBandla baby).

"I love how Inimba doesn’t drag a story like. We learnt of the pregnancy on Friday, it’s Tuesday, and Laz has declared the child his, and by Friday, everybody will be knowing about the pregnancy. The torture we would be going through if it were Generations. #InimbaMzansi."
@KanyoKngwendu replied:
"Zoleka will ruin that herself, I know she won't be able to keep the secret."
@Mogoshadis05 reacted:
"I know that Cosmo FM will tell Forest that Zo has a child, then Zo will say, it's his. Lazarus, Zo doesn't deserve you."
