"When love fails and you tell yourself that there is peace in sleep, but you dream of love instead, that is what Sikelela went through, and that left a lasting impression on Luhlumelo's mind and shaped how he will go about choosing his girlfriend. He will avoid being made a laughing stock."
User @Sophie Malindisa Mbuli Mbuli added:
"Love him so much."
