‘Gomora’: Does Jackie Hlongwane have a crush on Melusi Dlamini?

Viewers of the show are loving the loud, drunk and nosey Jackie who is meddling in Melusi’s affairs.

Jackie Hlongwane (Leera Mthethwa) seems to be jealous of Thati (Katlego Danke) and Melusi’s (Zolisa Xaluva) relationship.

Hlongwane has been acting out of character and seems to have developed feelings for her boss Melusi overnight.

Jackie’s questionable motifs

She is preoccupied with her boss’s love life and is giving Thati a hard time for sleeping with Melusi.

She claims she’s looking out for Gladys (Thembi Seete) and is protective over her, but she’s not even friends with Gladys.

She also claims that she’s looking out for Melusi because they’re friends, but she and Melusi are just colleagues.

We saw her insulting Thati this week and calling her names even though Thati is not the married one.
She blushed in last night’s scene when Thati asked her if she has feelings for Melusi.
Viewers were shocked to see her getting drunk at Thati’s tavern and making a spectacle of herself in front of everyone.

“After 40 you are not a slay queen but a tsotsi criminal.”

She was telling Thati here that she is too old to be having one-night stands with married men at her age.

Viewers loved it when she called Thati Mrs Grayston drive because Thati used to live in Sandton when she was rich and married.

Melusi told Jackie to apologise to Thati for insulting her in front of everyone but she continued acting out of character.
Ntokozo (Ntobeko Shishi) is now convinced that his father is having an affair with Jackie because he found lipstick in Melusi’s office and saw them having a meeting at the tavern.
Some viewers are appreciating this side of Jackie because she is unapologetic and stands for the truth.
While some feel that she is unnecessarily rude because they are not used to seeing this other side of her.
