Their connection was instant when joining the Big Brother Mzansi: S'ya Mosha house earlier this year. They were inseparable and did almost every activity together. Industrialist Lerato Modise, fondly known as Miss Robot, and her partner Sabelo Ncube, also known as Papa Ghost, have since separated after eight months of dating.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

The two met in the Big Brother house and immediately hit it off. "We didn't think Lerato would date while in the house, but she fell in love, and it was genuine,' a close friend revealed to ZiMoja. "They looked so good together,' added the source. When the two were evicted from the house, they reunited again and started dating outside of the house. "Papa Ghost is a musician and a writer, and she makes these amazing puzzles for children with special needs. The two just worked so well together for some time," the friend said.

IT'S OVER!

Last month, Lerato's community of Ekurhuleni hosted her homecoming, and Papa Ghost was there to support her. "Things seemed to be working on social media, but this is real life, and when a relationship does not work. It has to end. They parted ways in July,' the friend told ZiMoja. "It's almost a month now. They tried to keep it a secret, but you can only hide it for so long. Things didn't work out, and it happened. They are two very different people,' the friend said. Papa Ghost could not be reached for a comment, however, Lerato confirmed they are no longer together. "It's sad, but these things happen. We are all humans, and only time will tell you now,' Lerato said.

WORKING TOGETHER

Papa Ghost, who is also Andile Ncube's brother, worked with Lerato on their theatre production titled Baleka, which she directed and was written and co-directed by Papa Ghost. The play tells the story of the 'fees must fall' movement at the varsity level. The theatre production was portrayed at the Civic Centre Theatre in Emalahleni in Mpumalanga in June to commemorate Youth Month.
