Throughout the weekend, social media has been in a tizzy over Durban-based make-up artist Lungelo Nkosi after people started labelling her as the perfect example of “wife material”.
By Monday morning, “Lungelo Nkosi” had gone to the very top of the Twitter trends list as the hype amplified.
Now, film producer Mfundi Vundla, who is the creator of SA’s longest-running soapie, “Generations: The Legacy”, seems to have interest in hiring her.
Commenting on an image of Nkosi which was posted by Michael Bucwa (Mr Smeg) Vundla inquired: “Does she have an agent? If so, provide contact details.”
“We might see Lungelo Nkosi on Generations soon,” Bucwa posted.

@abednego82 swam against the tide and shared a differing perspective with a whole thread.
“Why Lungelo Nkosi is considered a ‘wife material’ but you are not (A Thread). Lungelo is not the most beautiful woman on Instagram or even the sexiest, but why are men unanimously clear that she is a wife material?”
