Inimba fans recently praised Zoleka (played by Lunathi Mampofu) for standing up for her man, Lazarus (played by Loyiso McDonald).

The fan-favourite couple, Zoleka and Lazarus, have been trending on social media since she divorced Hlathi.

In the scene shared on social media, Lazarus' ex-wife Lillian Gumede (played by Samkelo Ndlovu) confronts him about their past relationship and accuses him of deceiving her.

Zoleka replies by telling Lillian that she's still in love with Lazarus, and she planned to destroy their relationship because she's jealous.

"Mna, I never said she doesn't love her, I just said I hated how she never defended Laz when she could have. Nam uyandifuna?"

@lee_eyees replied:

"Her Majesty Queen Zo is defending her Majesty King Laz. This was beautiful to watch."

@kiing_rato said:

"I've honestly never been prouder of her."

@Jabu_Macdonald commented:

"This is the epitome of what a power couple should be. Lazarus defended Zoleka against Hlathi, and Zoleka fought for Lazarus against Lillian Gumede. No Hlathi, Sydney, and Lillian formed against my power couple shall prosper."

@Amor_kotola responded:

"I like how the fight is woman to woman and man to man. Thank you, MaZo."

"That was not the time to nurse Lillian's feelings... yes, she was right, but hey, sisabhidwe ngu Hlathi. Makame yena. Zoleka should have slapped Qhawe with the following 'futsek awundiboni wena mntanandini'."

@mfundocj reacted:

"Do you think they can do without the Hlathi character because he and Sydney are holding Inimba together?"

_Thembalihle_ responded:

"I love how Zoleka and Lazarus have each other backs. After all, it's them against the world. Right now, they have so many enemies who want to turn their world upside-down."
