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.

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.
