Sweet Guluva’s Press Conference Sparks Debate Over Lobola Question
Big Brother Mzansi Season 5 winner, Sweet Guluva, recently had his first press conference following his grand victory, but instead of focusing on his future career plans, the hot topic of discussion was his relationship with fellow housemate Ashley Ogle. This has sparked heated reactions from fans and social media users alike.

The Big Question: Is Lobola on the Horizon?
During the press conference, Sweet Guluva, who just walked away with an impressive R2 million prize, was asked about his plans regarding Ashley Ogle. Specifically, a reporter inquired about when he intends to pay lobola for her.
Taken aback by the question, Guluva responded humorously, “I just got out,” which sent the crowd into laughter. He later reassured everyone by saying, “Don’t worry.”
Fans React: Is the Focus Misplaced?
Despite the lighthearted exchange, many of Guluva’s fans were not amused. Several social media users expressed frustration that the press conference questions centered more on his personal life rather than his aspirations and plans for the future.
Fans pointed out that at just 23 years old, Guluva has only begun his journey in the entertainment industry and should be given time to grow his career before being pressured into discussions about marriage. Many questioned why the media seemed more interested in his romantic life than his potential projects or business ventures.

Social Media Erupts in Debate
On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), users were divided. Some agreed that Guluva should be allowed to focus on building his career without unnecessary pressure about settling down. Others, however, believed that his relationship with Ashley Ogle was a major part of his Big Brother journey and, therefore, a valid topic of discussion.
One user tweeted: “He’s 23! Let the man enjoy his success before we start talking about lobola and marriage. Give him time!”
Another user countered: “But Ashley was a big part of his story on BBMzansi. It’s fair to ask about their future together.”
What’s Next for Sweet Guluva?
While the lobola question may have stolen the spotlight, Sweet Guluva has not officially commented on his long-term relationship plans. Instead, he seems focused on what lies ahead in his career.
With his newfound fame and fortune, fans are eager to see what projects he will take on next—whether in television, business, or endorsements. The hope remains that future interviews will provide more insight into his ambitions beyond just his love life.
For now, one thing is clear—Sweet Guluva has captured the attention of South Africans, and whether it’s about love or career, people are eager to see what he does next.
