Move over Anathi and Thulani! We're living for the budding romance between Hlumelo and Nozuko. It just seems like the universe is aligning all things in their favour and that can only mean good things, right?
Here are all the reasons they may be our new favorite ship:
An unexpected love story 😍
This started out as a means to an end for Nozuko, all she wanted to do was secure the bag and that would require seducing her late husband's brother. Hlumelo on the other hand was a rolling stone and was simply using Nozuko for what he could get in between the sheets. So to them genuinely care and respect another has definitely been an unexpected turn of events for our couple.
Baby blessings 🍼
Seeing how Baby Mxenge has brought these two together really brings us life, we all know Nozuko suffered from infertility issues for years with Luzuko and we're happy she gets to become a mom. This also may be the only legitimate heir as Mzansi keeps speculating that Luzuko was in fact the infertile one.
Bonnie and Clyde 👫
Through heists and hospital emergencies, these two have shown that this romance is not about convenience. Nozuko was ready to risk it all and join her boo on the family heist adventure and Hlumelo made sure he was by her side during the miscarriage scare. It's giving love and support and we're here for it.
Villains to faves ❤
Both Hlumelo and Nozuko are the villains in the story and we see glimmers of love, softness, and morality when they are together. This definitely makes for good PR as they may just become Mzansi's faves. Despite everything they have put us through, everyone was rooting for Baby Mxenge to be safe.
One thing is for sure, expect the unexpected with these two. However we are hoping for a beautiful ose to grow through the concrete streets of Gqeberha.
