The Love Never Lies: South Africa reunion special, which aired on Sunday, December 8, 2024, gave fans an emotional and dramatic look at the aftermath of the show. Hosted by Minnie Dlamini, the reunion brought together all six couples to discuss what had happened in their relationships after the cameras stopped rolling.
While all six couples initially left the show together, two pairs — Lynn and Kuda, and Muneka and Gontse — revealed they had broken up. On a brighter note, Nancy and Bohlale were one of the couples still together. However, their relationship was far from perfect, and the reunion special took an intense turn when Bohlale’s infidelity came to light.
Bohlale admitted to cheating on Nancy with castmate Mia, and when Mia was brought on stage, the truth about their physical relationship off-camera was revealed. Nancy described discovering Bohlale’s betrayal as “very difficult” and “traumatic.” “It wasn’t nice and tough to deal with,” she shared. “Seeing my partner make love to another person was traumatic.” She also explained how the emotional turmoil had affected her spiritual connection, saying she felt “disconnected” from her “gift” and struggled to reach out to her ancestors.
When Minnie asked Bohlale about how he felt seeing Nancy suffer, he responded somberly, saying he noticed that Nancy’s “gift” seemed to be “unattended” and that her spirit was no longer present. “I’m trying to hold it down for the both of us with prayer,” he said.
As the conversation shifted to Mia’s involvement with Bohlale, Minnie asked about the “strong emotional and spiritual” connection they shared. Bohlale explained that with Mia, it felt almost like a “mirror-type” situation, where he felt like he already knew her. “This person is me. It was too familiar, and I became too familiar with that situation and forgot that there were cams,” Bohlale confessed.
The tension peaked when Mia joined the stage. Minnie asked Nancy how she felt seeing Mia for the first time, and Nancy admitted she was confused and hurt, saying she was “hot” but couldn’t understand why Bohlale and Mia had slept together. In an emotional moment, Mia apologized to Nancy for the pain she had caused, acknowledging her role in the affair. “There might be some truths that you don’t know,” Mia said, hinting that there were still more details about their relationship that hadn’t been shared.
Mia then revealed that while the main events of her time with Bohlale were shown on the show, many details were left out, and what happened off-camera might shock Nancy even more.
The reunion left fans questioning the true nature of the relationships and what really goes on behind the scenes.
Episodes of Love Never Lies: South Africa are available to stream on Netflix.
