"I don't feel comfortable" — Love Never Lies: South Africa star Nikiwe calls out Naledi for discussing finances behind her back

Six South African couples are facing the ultimate relationship challenge on Netflix's Love Never Lies: South Africa, which premiered on November 28, 2024. Host Minenhle 'Minnie' Dlamini oversees the journey of couples.

However, with attractive singles tempting them and deep-seated trust issues, it remains to be seen who will remain faithful and who will succumb to infidelity.

The contestants are split between two villas, Umgowo and Umjolo. Umgowo is home to Kuda, Nikiwe, Nancy, Wilfred, Gontse, and Pretty, while Villa Umjolo houses Lynn, Naledi, Bohlale, Clayton, and Munaka.

In episode 4 of Love Never Lies: South Africa, Minnie presented the contestants with an opportunity to earn back some money by sharing their honest feelings in front of everyone. During Nikiwe's turn, she expressed that she was feeling nervous by the whole ordeal, but mustered up the courage to participate regardless.

Minnie encouraged her to continue, and Nikiwe was shown footage of Naledi discussing their financial struggles with other contestants of Villa Umjolo. This revelation infuriated Nikiwe, who felt uncomfortable with Naledi sharing personal details about their financial situation and her ability to provide for their child.

Nikiwe's emotions intensified as she witnessed Naledi flirting with Imogel. Furthermore, Naledi confessed that she didn't desire a monogamous relationship with Nikiwe, leaving Nikiwe feeling deeply hurt and betrayed.

"I'm particularly p**sed off because I don't feel comfortable with you discussing my money situations and what I can and cannot do for my kid," said Nikiwe.

Minnie inquired about Nikiwe's deal-breakers, and Nikiwe stated that her child was off-limits. She felt betrayed by Naledi's actions and questioned why Naledi would share personal details with strangers.

"My kid. Why is my kid an example? Why do you think you can say stuff like this to other people? You don't know these people. I don't trust them like I trust you. What are you doing? What are you on," questioned Nikiwe.

The game continued on Love Never Lies: South Africa and Naledi's answer to a question about resenting financial dependence on Nikiwe was revealed to be truthful, earning 10,000 Rand.

Minnie revealed that Naledi's answer to a question about wanting to be exclusively monogamous with Nikiwe was proven to be a lie by the lie detector. Nikiwe expressed her shock and hurt, laughing hysterically before composing herself. Nikiwe stated that she was okay with being monogamous, but Naledi was not ready to commit.

"I'm thinking about the fact that that person is chatting about polyamory like they didn't ask me that to stop seeing people. That person is not polyamorous. They're polygamous because they want more than one partner, but did not want me to have another partner," revealed Nikiwe.

Minnie asked Nikiwe if she thought they were both ready for the next step in their relationship, considering their engagement. Nikiwe replied that she was ready, but a part of her hoped that Naledi's actions were taken out of context. Nikiwe reflected on her feelings, hoping that Naledi would realize her mistakes.

Minnie concluded the segment of Love Never Lies: South Africa by stating that Naledi's lie had deducted 10,000 Rand from their price point. The outcome left Nikiwe feeling uncertain about her relationship with Naledi.
