When MacG replied ” no,” Sol did what he does best and hit him with a funny pun: “You also want to do a hit and run, umbethe umbaleke [hit and run]?” 

Sol’s witty pun was in reference to Natasha’s viral interview she did with them last year.

During the interview, the actress inadvertently revealed that Arts and Culture minister, Nathi Mthethwa, gave her a R1 million scholarship to study acting at the New York Film Academy thanks to a call she made to the former speaker of parliament, Baleka Mbete, who she said is also her aunt. The actress is also the granddaughter of the late struggle stalwart, Archbishop Desmon Tutu.

BAECATIONS AND CHEATING RUMOURS

Although Natasha and Lorch have never blatantly come out to reveal that they are an item, the pair started posting hints in June 2021. At the time, Twitter FBIs had spotted them on baecation in Zanzibar.

While Lorch denied the relationship at first, it later became clear that their love was growing strong when the footballer scored a sweet birthday message from the former The Queen actress in July.
