On Netflix's Love Never Lies: South Africa, six couples from the country subject their relationships to a rigorous trial. Under the guidance of host Minenhle 'Minnie' Dlamini, the couples strive to revitalize their partnerships while competing for a substantial cash prize. However, the presence of attractive singles and deep-seated trust issues casts a shadow of uncertainty over their loyalty.
The contestants are divided between two villas, Umgowo and Umjolo, where they navigate the challenges of the competition. As the series unfolded, instances of betrayal and heartache became increasingly apparent.
In the season finale of Love Never Lies: South Africa, Bohlale and Nancy participated in their final challenge, aiming to increase the prize pot. Previously, Bohlale had confessed to infidelity, admitting to cheating on Nancy with another woman. Despite this, Nancy revealed in the finale game that she was willing to give Bohlale another chance, citing her love for him.
Bohlale expressed gratitude for Nancy's willingness to forgive. Later, in a private moment, he attempted to get close to her by placing his hand on her shoulder. However, Nancy felt uncomfortable and rebuffed his advance. In a subsequent confessional, she stated:
"Don't touch me. Because I'm not comfortable. Bohlale needs to take accountability."

In the season finale of Love Never Lies: South Africa, a highlight reel showcased the tumultuous relationship between Bohlale and Nancy. The footage revealed Bohlale's infidelity with Mia, a single woman introduced by the show's producers. Nancy expressed her disappointment and hurt, feeling that Bohlale had made her feel inadequate.
The highlight reel also showed Nancy's emotional struggle as she grappled with the decision to forgive Bohlale. She confided in the other contestants, sharing her pain and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Bohlale seemed to be grappling with the consequences of his actions.
"To be honest with you, I don't know how to feel. I'm not even sure if he's gonna come clean," Nancy said.
Later, Nancy and Bohlale reunited for the final test of truth or lie, which would determine the winner of the competition. This marked the first time the couple had met since the start of the series, as they had been separated.
As they sat down with Love Never Lies: South Africa host Minnie, Nancy expressed her uncertainty about her feelings toward Bohlale. He apologized for his actions, acknowledging that he had embarrassed Nancy in front of the entire world.
The test of truth or lie revealed that Bohlale had indeed cheated on Nancy before the show and that he had connected with Mia on a deeper level. Nancy confronted Bohlale about his actions, asking where she fit in between him and Mia. Bohlale reassured Nancy that his intention was to fix himself and their relationship.
"The person that I'm here to fix is me, and the reason why is for our relationship. So, when that mistake happened, immediate regret set in, because that person that she had was not intended for her. It was intended for you," Bohlale stated.
His honesty added 30,000 Rand to the prize pot. Nancy's answer to the question of whether she was willing to forgive Bohlale for having s*x with Mia was revealed to be true, showing that she was willing to work toward forgiveness. After all the contestants finished their tests, it was revealed that Munaka and Gontse were the winners of Love Never Lies: South Africa, as they provided the least amount of lies.
