While 'woke' Twitter will tell you that your job doesn't define you, that didn't stop the streets from being shooketh on level 100 when they met malume Madoda who works at a mortuary.
Madoda and his missus Ntswaki were featured on Moja Love's popular reality show, Sofa Slahlane on Thursday where malume opened up about his life as a mortician.
Madoda said that until he found Ntswaki the girls would look at him funny and run away when he pulled up in his hearse at their place.

But the couple are real goals and soon had fans of the show gushing over their love.
Of course, like most episodes of the series it sparked massive debate over whether you would take a job at a morgue or even date a mortician.
The streets were filled with memes and jokes in response.
His ancestors told him to go work in a mortuary? I’d disown them #SofaSlahlane pic.twitter.com/tjGUf1M8IY

Irrespective of this guys career, he really looks like he makes his child & woman happy which is what matters. Unlike these big shot men who can't even make it home for supper #SofaSlahlane

Open minded me on Twitter: There's nothing wrong with working at a mortuary. A job is a job!
Mortuary: We have an opening

But the debate was all good and well until people start bringing files and stories. That time it got super awkward, super quick.
My uncle's friend once admitted to sleeping with corpses while working for a mortuary. Out of the blue nje, just like that. KwakuTense for a bit. My uncle kept his distance after that confession. #SofaSlahlane
