Taking to Instagram where the actress posted a photo of the two actors behind the scenes and she wrote

“If ‘TOGEDA’ was a person šŸ™ˆ@actoraubrey šŸ¤šŸ–¤šŸ¤Lalelani bahlali, isesheli siyalindiswa, especially after a painful separation. I’m so glad Phumelele didn’t use Fenyang to numb her pain or replace what was broken. She entered into this relationship, complete and enough for herself. Fenyang is not in her life because she needs him. He is in her life because she WANTS him. She CHOSE him. She found him WORTHY of her once she knew her worth. This decision is all about her. She owns it. She is fully in control of her choices. No family obligation, no cultural expectations and certainly no societal BS. Big difference. That’s power. She’s definately my #WCW
