The intersection of love and professional status became a viral topic after a digital creator shared her personal heartbreak on January 25, 2025.
The emotional video was shared on TikTok by @natasha.ntsadu, who revealed that she walked away from a workplace conversation with a heavy heart.
The security guard explained that she overheard a nurse backbiting about her, claiming that her fiancé, who is a doctor at the hospital where she works, had "downgraded" by dating her. Visibly hurt by the utterance while on duty, she noted that the doctor had met her at work and fully understood her profession when he chose her over the nurses he worked with daily.

"Doctor, nurse, security, lawyers, social worker, etc., it doesn't matter, we only have one purpose, to put food on the table. Sisterhood is proud of you, darling 🥰."

"I was a cleaner, my darling, ngathandwa yi engineer sinezingane (and fell in love with an engineer). He’s planning to go to my home, abathandi i status labantu bathanda umuntu (men don't fall in love with your status but fall for an individual) 🙌🏻."
user @Lovable commented:
"Being a security guard doesn't mean you're not educated, or should it be grounds to be looked down upon. There are so many security guards with degrees, but because there are no jobs, they settle for what is available. There's nothing wrong with the security job."
User @Bucsqueen said:
"Congratulations, sisi, siyeke judges zasemhlabeni (let's leave these society judges)."
User @Hamilton12 commented:
"I’m sorry you had to deal with that. 💔 I don’t know why people still don’t understand that your heart doesn’t choose who it wants. There’s nothing wrong with being a security❤️!"
