Khobang shippers despite their initial disappointment are now celebrating because they can sense the aura of peace that permeates the friendship between Khosi and Thabang. The negative pressure on housemates when they exit Biggie’s house can be overwhelming and this can result in a temporary moment of detachment to whatever they held dear in the house.
Fans saw this last year with Sheggz and Bella. Their journey towards finding their voice, embracing their love and standing up to the commandeering of fans was an interesting one to experience even from afar and Khobang shippers hoped this would be the case for their ship.
Khosi and Thabang initially refused to divulge the waters of their intimacy. Every interview question that came close to their ship was met with avoidance or a call off with the famous, “I have a brand to build” rhetoric. Their recent interviews and interaction with fans have started to deviate from what it initially was.
There has been a subtle indication that they are now maintaining a certain comfortable degree of friendship. During a live interaction featuring Marvin, Khosi revealed how special her out-of-the-closet moment with Thabang was. She referred to the moment as spiritual, it was the first time they kissed in front of every other housemate, slow dancing to the rhythm of an amapiano song.
Her description of the moment was so full of warmth that it was obvious she still harbours feelings for him. This moment coupled with Thabang’s interview where he spoke cryptically about where he’s at with Khosi has caused massive jubilation for Khobangers. This ship now seems like it has seen the light at the end of the tunnel and it is heading towards there.
