If the hustle and bustle is anything to go by Joburg can certainly sell you dreams. There is often a grey area between people achieving their dreams and being either caught in flights of fancy or stuck in limbo. Similarly, achieving one’s crush is not always promised.

Remember Simi and Zamani? Remember their innocent love that we were so sure would’ve blossomed by now? Remember they were our ‘ships’ and gave us hope that young love would win? Well, it appears a lot has happened since those days.

Lucky for Zamani after landing a fancy job as a barman at the club, his new boss Vivian started paying him the kind of attention Simi wasn’t. The bold and beautiful Vivian has disarmed him with her low-key seductions, providing him with the perfect distraction from the his inglorious status in the ‘friendzone’.

What about Palesa and Bambatha? Their’s was a modern day tale of how nothing can get in the way of a girl who’s determined to conquer her crush and turn him into her #bae. It wasn’t too long into their love story before it took a bad turn and Palesa suspicions were confirmed. It turns out Bambatha and Tsakani’s relationship is far from platonic. Was their kiss really a mistake?

But the biggest mind-boggle in the tricky terrain of relationships has to be Anathi. Who would’ve thought that the virginal, right-by-rules lady of the parish had it in her to lie? The bomb was dropped when a mysterious man dropped by her dorm and announced to her roommates Simi and Sne, that he was indeed her fiancé.

What could Anathi be hiding? Is she who she says she is?
