Bonga Dlamini’s role in House of Zwide
After Pearl broke down and told Laz that her love life was dead and that she was stood up by her blind date, Laz took it upon herself to make Pearl feel better. So Lazarus then called Tiro, her friend who is easy on the eyes and charming and gave a proposition to him. In this proposition, Tira is supposed to charm Pearl and get her to go on a date with him; however, Laz will pay him for his time and the dates.
In the next episode shots, Tiro is seen walking into House of Zwide and, under the pretence of getting clothes, starts chatting Pearl up. Many viewers know this will end in a disaster for Laz and Pearl’s friendship, but it does not stop Laz from wanting to boost her friend’s confidence. Many prime-time television viewers have seen Bonga Dlamini before in other soapies and love him for his talent and finesse.
