BONKO KHOZA AS MQHELE Bonko Khoza who trends weekly for playing an abusive taxi driver husband to Hlomu has become one of Mzansi's most hated characters.
Mqhele has physically abused Hlomu (Mbali Mavimbela) his wife again.
The abuse had led to Mahlomu's miscarriage is driving her into her old boyfriend's arms.
Viewers now want Hlomu and Sandile to get back together and for Hlomu to leave his wife because he's damaged goods.
Mqhele has also refused to see a therapist for the trauma that he experienced when he was still a child.
Hlomu hasn't told Mqhele that she was pregnant and lost the baby yet.

Now we have to choose between him and Gomora
@PamelaNontokozo:
Congratulations to him. I do hope however that it's not a relationship role because I'm not liking how detached he and Mbali are now.
