The educational soapie recently shared on its X account on 28 November 2025, that Mkhize's character was arrested and faced with a difficult decision of choosing her freedom and betraying her boyfriend, Nkosi.

'We deserve to have a whole 30 minutes of Khwezi doing the confession to Kobus. Not disturbance.'

@lindzmlangeni replied:
"I hope Khwezi turns on Nkosi, so that he can rot in jail. That guy is annoying."
@CeeNkuna commented:
"But, this case is funny, so Khwezi went to mkhulu to acquire Lehasa’s riches, and now she doesn’t want to compensate him after, and now she’s in trouble for it."
@out_soon_ reacted:
"I see the chickens have come home to roost for Khwezi. Please. So don’t drag this storyline, so far y’all are doing so well."
@lindzmlangeni wrote:
"Lehasa's obsession with Khwezi is annoying. He’s married now, why can’t he let the law take its course?"
@out_soon_ said:
"Why is Nkosi handling Khwezi’s businesses because Lehasa is available? Ma ka boshwe u (he must get arrested) Nkosi, please."
@Mr_dwing replied:
'Khwezi, Nkosi, and Lehasa’s storyline annoys me very much. I hate it."
