So men are still trash? – Here's why fans think Sofa Slahlane man is leadership
A man on Moja Love's hit reality show Sofa Slahlane has won over the internet after he told the show he stayed with his HIV positive wife after finding out her status and fulfilled her dream of having children.
Obed is an early candidate for Man of the Year in the Twitter awards after he and his wife Nkele shared their story with the nation.
TONIGHT on my TV show #SofaSlahlane Nkele and Obed are in a HIV Positive and HIV Negative relationship, respectively. Their status will not come in the way of their love affair, not even after conceiving naturally, two beautiful and HIV negative children. Tune in tonight at 21:00 pic.twitter.com/x29WaK0mN8

The couple sat down with the show's host Mzilikazi wa Afrika to show Mzansi that after several years together and two children later, Obed was still HIV negative.
They decided to stay together despite friends suggesting Obed should leave Nkele after he learnt of her status.
The streets were filled with praise for the man and his decision to stay with the love of his life, despite the stigmas attached to HIV.
This man is an example of a real man 💪💪 a man who would sacrifice everything for the person he loves 👏👏 #SofaSlahlane pic.twitter.com/PWFcXleTIQ
