Mbali’s character, Zodwa, has been trending week after week as she is having an affair with her sister’s husband, Difa (Sibonile Ngubane), with whom she also has a daughter (MaBusi).
According to The South African, while some viewers of the faith-based soapie defend Zodwa for betraying her evil sister, #TeamMamzobe believes Zodwa’s pregnancy should be terminated.

Difa is actually the devil here. Playing these sisters. From Zodwa to MaMzobe, then Zodwa again then back to MaMzobe, now back to Zodwa again. Zibuse should beat him up everytime he sees him #Umkhokha #UmkhokhaTheCurse
