Naledi has stolen Skeem Saam actress Ntswaki’s boyfriend Relebohile Mofokeng

Few days after Naledi broke up with her boyfriend Mawelele, the 18-year-old is already making headlines for stealing Skeem Saam actress Ntswaki’s boyfriend, Relebohile Mofokeng. And just like the late Senzo Meyiwa, the Orlando Pirates rising star is changing girlfriends like diapers — leaving fans, followers and the entertainment world stunned.

Now the drama has spilled into the public eye, where soccer fans, soapie watchers and social media users are locked in a heated debate over Mofokeng’s private life. What Naledi did to win his heart — and leave actress Lethabo Mekoa in tears — is at the centre of the storm.

ORLANDO PIRATES FANS: “NTSWAKI STAY AWAY”

It all began when a video of Lethabo Mekoa, who plays Ntswaki on Skeem Saam, interacting with Mofokeng after an Orlando Pirates match went viral. The clip quickly triggered a wave of reactions from Pirates supporters who insisted the 20-year-old midfielder must focus on football, not romance.

“Ntswaki should stay away from our Mofokeng, we don’t want ‘All rise’,” wrote one fan, echoing fears that the young player’s career could be derailed by distractions off the pitch.

The pressure on Mofokeng grew louder as fans dug into Mekoa’s past relationships. In May, the actress was linked to DJ Melzi after the pair frequently posted each other on social media. For supporters, it was proof enough that Mofokeng should steer clear of her.

One fan posted: “So, she broke up with Melzi. Now dating our last born. No man, he’s only 20, he must start dating when he’s 30 to focus on soccer.”

SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS

The viral video sparked a flood of dramatic responses:

  • “Jose should take his phone and ground him. After a game straight to the hotel, no celebrations for him,” one user suggested.
  • “Yoh wena, I need water, this girl is giving me chest pains,” another wrote.
  • “Nah, legends barber should betha this boy with a chiskop!” joked one fan.
  • “Someone call her parents and let them know she is not studying but going to stadium,” added another.
  • “He’s gone. Just look at the body language, facial expression. He’s blushing. No, this boy must focus.”

The comments reflected a larger concern among Pirates fans that the young star, whose talent is seen as central to the team’s future, could get lost in fame and romance before reaching his full potential.

THE ACTRESS UNDER SPOTLIGHT

For Mekoa, the scrutiny comes just as her career is reaching new heights. The 19-year-old actress recently bagged the Viewer’s Choice Best Actress award at the Royalty Soapie Awards, a major achievement that placed her in the spotlight.

In her acceptance message, she thanked her family, friends and supporters: “Every audition, every late-night rehearsal, every moment of doubt has led me to this incredible achievement. But this is just the beginning.”

Yet, while Mekoa was celebrating her professional win, the public fixation quickly shifted to her personal life — with rumours that Mofokeng was no longer hers.

ENTER NALEDI

This is where Naledi comes in. Fresh, bold and just 18, she reportedly swooped in days after ending her own relationship with Mawelele. Insiders suggest she wasted no time in making her move on Mofokeng, who now appears to be caught in the middle of a messy love triangle.

Social media users have already dubbed her “Fresh & Delicious Naledi” — a nickname that speaks to both her age and her audacity in stealing the spotlight. For some, she’s seen as a fearless teenager chasing what she wants. For others, she’s been branded reckless for hurting Mekoa and distracting a rising football star.

PUBLIC DIVIDE

The frenzy shows no signs of slowing down. Some argue that Mofokeng, at 20, has every right to date who he wants. Others insist that as a national sports figure, he carries the weight of responsibility — and should avoid unnecessary drama.

The comparisons to Senzo Meyiwa, the former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper whose love life became entangled in controversy before his tragic death, have only heightened concerns. “Changing girlfriends like diapers,” one fan wrote, “is not a good look for a future star.”

Meanwhile, Naledi has remained quiet, letting speculation swirl. Her silence has only fueled further curiosity about what exactly she did to win Mofokeng’s heart so quickly after his public moments with Mekoa.

CAREER VS LOVE

At the heart of the debate is a familiar question: can young athletes balance fame, romance and performance? History has shown how easily promising careers can be overshadowed by off-field distractions. For now, Mofokeng’s future hangs in the balance — and every move he makes is under the microscope.

Naledi’s bold entrance, Mekoa’s broken heart, and fans’ mounting pressure have turned what should be a private matter into a full-blown public spectacle.

THE FINAL TWIST

And yet, amid all the noise, one fact remains clear: it was Naledi, not Mekoa, who captured Mofokeng’s attention in the end. The teenager who just walked away from Mawelele is now walking hand in hand with one of South Africa’s brightest football prospects.

What exactly she did to pull off the dramatic switch is still a matter of speculation. But one thing is certain — Naledi has managed to rewrite the script, leaving Ntswaki in tears, Orlando Pirates fans on edge, and Relebohile Mofokeng’s future caught between love and legacy.
