Winners in love

Love Island SA fan favourites LIBHONGOLETHU GEZA and THIMNA SHOOTO walked away with a cool R1 million after being crowned winners of the M-Net dating show.

But Libhongolethu, better known as Libho, says the biggest prize “is being able to call Thimna my girlfriend”. It’s hard to believe the love birds almost didn’t end up together. Libho (23) had his eye on another contestant when he entered the show looking for love.

Yet it was Thimna (26) who captured his heart, he tells YOU. “My gut chose Thimna. And I’m so glad I went with my gut.”

We find out how well the loved-up couple really know each other.

THIMNA His biggest pet peeve? Being doubted and when people assume things about him. His relationship deal breakers? Disrespect, cheating and lying. His idea of a perfect date night? Lying in bed watching Netflix, enjoying good food and, of course, me! His love language? Words of affirmation, physical touch and acts of service. What does he love most about you?

He loves my assertiveness, transparency, kindness and my smile.

LIBHO Her biggest pet peeve? She has a few – dishonesty, inconsistency and gaslighting. Her relationship deal breakers? Cheating, disrespect and abuse. Her idea of a perfect date night? A sunset game safari drive. Her love language? Words of affirmation, physical touch and acts of service. What does she love most about you? I’m consistent and thoughtful.
