Mzansi has witnessed the two continue to show up for each other especially on those days when black Twitter wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.

Lasizwe and Kamo Mphela

These two make quite the cute combo and we love to see it. From always posting each other on social media to attending events together, there is no denying that they are bff goals.
