CHARLESTON AND ASANDA ON DIEP CITY

The fan-favourite couple plays church leaders in the Mzansi Magic telenovela but they aren’t married yet.

Asanda begged Charleston to put a ring on it for the longest time and he finally proposed. The proposal brought a lot of issues for them. Charleston’s crushee came back from the dead, ready to fight for him once again. She even stolen mamfundi’s ring. Obsession on steroids.

The newly engaged couple are not faced with Asanda taking drugs, nyaope to be specific and the way Chatleston is dealing with it has proven to be out of hand.

But it seems the obsessed woman has a hand in Asanda’s addiction and viewers are not liking it.
