Inimba fans react to the death prediction

@CrossCountryOP said:

"I thought the same thing."

@Miss_Wongi replied:

"And Qhawe gets his heart?"

@y_mangisa commented:

"Hlathi will do it without asking any of the mothers (oMamgwevu)."

@ma_serage responded:

"It should be Yanga."

@rainbowjnb4902 reacted:

"I still believe her heart will come from him, which is what makes it so sad. Yanga feels like she’s just there with no story driving her. Meanwhile, Kamva is doing the Lord’s work, calling out his parents’ outdated ways. He could be such a strong foil to his father if they let that arc grow."

@MBambo7769 wrote:

"I feel like the writers wanna push the whole Bavumile storyline. Because Hlathi loses one son, which will essentially force him to fight for Bavumile."

@KeletsoMoloto_ replied:

"No, don't say that I love his character. He is always reminding his parents that he's not afraid of them."

@OathKatekani wrote:

"And a 'big family secret' will be revealed."

@pschisenga reacted:

"Likamva is necessary to the show; his death will be a huge blow. "

@oratilee_k commented:

"Unfortunately, some characters have to die to keep the plot going."

@pschisenga wrote:

"I mean, he is not that important or less important, but his presence keeps things balanced, if you get what I mean."

@MadondaNonala said:

"I think it's Nonceba who is going to die."

@pschisenga replied:

"It's not her (Nonceba). She was filming the last episodes of season 1, so she is not dying."

@Premilla_n reacted:

"Yanga is literally useless. They could’ve taken her."
