The Ultimatum: South Africa, the Ultimatum series latest addition, featured a six-way swap between couples. One-half of each of these couples was issued an ultimatum by their partners to either marry or move on.

As part of the social experiment's format, the cast members chose new partners and lived with them for three weeks in a trial marriage, followed by spending three weeks with their original partners before they made their decisions.

However, for one couple, the journey came to an end earlier than the rest of them. Nolla and Lebo broke up mid-experiment and left the Netflix show after the former cheated on the latter with Ruth, the person he was paired up with during the show.

Fans of the show took to social media to chime in on the situation and slam Nolla for his infidelity.

"Nolla is a such a shady guy. Lebo must just move on. #TheUltimatum," one person wrote.
"Lebo brought Nolla to #TheUltimatum to see if he was serious about her or wasting her time. He immediately slept with another woman. Lebo got her concrete answer. #TheUltimatumSA #TheUltimatumsouthafrica #TheUltimatum," another person wrote.
"Nolla is so cringe to me. Even the flirting, yoh I'd scream. #TheUltimatum," one fan wrote.

The Ultimatum: South Africa fans further wrote:

"Yoh. I know men right but I thank God that I've never had to experience someone like Nolla. He is the worst of the worst. #TheUltimatum," one person wrote.
"Nolla is a manipulator. #TheUltimatumSouthAfrica #TheUltimatum," another person wrote.
"Nolla is that guy they warn you about. Proper F boy. #TheUltimatumSA #TheUltimatumSouthAfrica #TheUltimatum," a fan wrote.

The Ultimatum: South Africa fans further said:

"Nolla can't be this dumb. Why lie about sleeping with Ruth? There are cameras filming all day and night. It's a reality show. Lebo is going to see the footage, sir. #TheUltimatumSA #TheUltimatumsouthafrica #TheUltimatum," one tweet read.
"Nolla is the MOST DIABOLICAL person I've seen on any and every version of #TheUltimatum because of instead of explaining how/why he and Ruth ended up sleeping together, he's trying to call Isaac for revenge. #TheUltimatumSA #TheUltimatumsouthafrica," a fan wrote.

What happened between Lebo and Nolla in The Ultimatum: South Africa?

Lebo issued her boyfriend, Nolla, with an ultimatum, which landed them on the show. As part of the show's format, they were paired up with other people, Adrian and Ruth, respectively.

As the show progressed, the new couples started getting to know one another, and while Lebo and Adrian decided to just be friends, Nolla and Ruth's trial marriage took a romantic turn.

During girls' night, the female cast got together to discuss what their new relationships were like. At the end of the night, Ruth asked Lebo if they could speak privately and revealed to her that she and Nolla had slept together multiple times.

The Ultimatum: South Africa cast member thanked Ruth for telling her the truth and told the cameras that her trust was broken. Lebo went to confront Nolla about his relationship with the latter and told him that while she was busy being respectful to him and their relationship, he was cheating on her.

Nolla denied the claim and asked Ruth why she would "joke" about something like that, which upset the latter as well. After denying the allegations numerous times and telling Lebo that he loved her, he called up Isaac, Ruth's original partner, to get him in the loop.

He told Isaac that he and Ruth slept together, and chaos ensued. Although Isaac and Ruth eventually got back together while on the show, Lebo and Nolla had to leave The Ultimatum: South Africa since Lebo broke up with him.


Episodes of The Ultimatum: South Africa are available to air on Netflix.
