On Love Never Lies: South Africa, navigating romantic turbulence is as much an art as it is an emotional endurance test. This week, the spotlight is on Bohlale and Nancy, whose already strained relationship faces fresh challenges thanks to the allure of new connections.
Bohlale drops this new line,
“I don’t like venting. I like creating,”
He says this while confiding in Mia, a seductive new single who seems to embody everything Nancy isn’t. From strawberries on the beach to flirtatious yoga sessions, this episode of Love Never Lies: South Africa serves tension, temptation, and the kind of introspection that only a luxury villa can inspire.
As the couples are split between Villa Umgowo for reflection and Villa Umjolo for, well, chaos, lines are drawn, boundaries are tested, and viewers are left wondering if Nancy and Bohlale’s relationship will survive the journey.
Conflict between Bohlale and Nancy on Love Never Lies: South Africa
The episode kicks off with Nancy and Bohlale addressing an ongoing issue in their relationship: intimacy—or the lack thereof. Nancy admits,
“Just because I want to be intimate with you, or rather just wanting to have s*x with you, it’s because that isn’t my only focus.”
Bohlale, however, feels differently:
“It seems to me that you would rather forget other things that are happening and rather be intimate.”
Nancy fires back, exasperated:
“I just want to be intimate with my boyfriend.”
Things get awkward when Nancy asks if he realizes they can go without s*x for two months, and Bohlale bluntly retorts,
“Uh uh, it’s one month max.”
The participants of Love Never Lies: South Africa are then separated into two villas—Villa Umjolo, a playground for temptation, and Villa Umgowo, a sanctuary for self-reflection. While Villa Umjolo’s residents dive headfirst into parties and dates, Villa Umgowo participants wrestle with their shortcomings.
Kuda reflects on his inability to be vulnerable, admitting, “I struggle with vulnerability in general.” Meanwhile, Nancy, now free from Bohlale’s interruptions, gets a chance to process their earlier conversation.
What happened after the villa was split?
In Villa Umjolo, Bohlale is paired with Mia, a charming new single who wastes no time connecting with him. Their date on this episode of Love Never Lies: South Africa is an unfiltered window into Bohlale’s grievances with Nancy.
He opens up about feeling like a “venting station” in his relationship, sharing,
“My shorty, she’s more into ‘let’s cuddle’, she likes using me as a place to vent. Cause I take the load off.”
Then, in what might be the most Bohlale-esque line yet, he declares,
“I don’t like venting. I like creating. So if you want to talk problem, I don’t want to talk problem for too long.”
Mia, naturally, is all ears and later confesses,
“I love how he opens up a lot more. I feel like we’re connecting on a deeper level because of it.”
Their connection culminates in a montage of strawberry feeding and frolicking on the beach.
Back in Villa Umgowo, Nancy faces a harsh reality when she views a snippet of Bohlale’s date with Mia. The footage features his dismissive remark:
“I hear a lot of people saying they miss their partners, they miss their partners. I don’t feel that.”
It’s the kind of confession no partner wants to overhear, let alone watch on tape. It also includes footage of him reacting to Mia doing yoga, saying,
“Oh my god. You are flexible. I am being punished.”
The preview ends before revealing the full extent of Bohlale and Mia’s interactions, leaving Nancy with a dilemma: should she spend R5000 to see more?
This episode of Love Never Lies: South Africa leaves viewers questioning whether Nancy will confront Bohlale about his apparent disregard for their relationship or whether their bond will crumble under the pressure of temptation. While Bohlale may not like venting, his actions seem to be creating a much bigger problem than even he anticipated.
As the villa drama unfolds, one thing is clear: Love Never Lies: South Africa continues to prove that trust, much like R5000, is easily spent and hard to regain.
Love Never Lies: South Africa is streaming only on Netflix.
