Sweet Guluva’s Press Conference Sparks Heated Debate Over Lobola Question
Big Brother Mzansi Season 5 winner, Sweet Guluva, recently held his first press conference following his massive victory on the popular reality show. However, what was expected to be a discussion about his future plans and career goals quickly took a surprising turn. The spotlight shifted from his professional journey to his romantic relationship with fellow housemate, Ashley Ogle, sparking mixed reactions across social media platforms.
The Lobola Question Steals the Spotlight
During the press conference, Sweet Guluva—who walked away with a life-changing R2 million prize—was asked an unexpected question by a journalist. Instead of focusing on his next steps in the entertainment industry, the reporter pressed him about his intentions towards Ashley Ogle, specifically asking when he planned to pay lobola for her.
Caught off guard, Guluva responded with humor, laughing, “I just got out,” which drew laughter from the audience. He followed up by reassuring everyone, “Don’t worry.” While the response was lighthearted, it did little to stop the brewing storm online.
Fans Divided Over Personal vs. Career Focus
The exchange sparked a wave of reactions from fans and social media users. Many were disappointed that the press conference, meant to celebrate Guluva’s success, was overshadowed by personal matters. Critics argued that Guluva, at just 23 years old, is at the beginning of his career and should be given space to grow in the industry without the pressure of discussing marriage or lobola.https://x.com/debra_madibana/status/1904143679469625537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1904143679469625537%7Ctwgr%5E68175e000b002fe5dc1a8af09795d535782c97d8%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftiemnews.co.zw%2Fsweet-guluva-lobola-for-ashley-ogle%2F
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the debate intensified. Some users slammed the journalist for pushing the lobola question instead of exploring Guluva’s plans for his prize money, career ambitions, or potential business ventures.
One frustrated user tweeted, “He’s 23! Let the man enjoy his success before we start talking about lobola and marriage. Give him time!”
However, others defended the question, stating that Ashley Ogle played a significant role in Sweet Guluva’s Big Brother journey, making their relationship a valid topic of discussion. “Ashley was a big part of his story on BBMzansi. It’s fair to ask about their future together,” another user argued.
